Default Shift light, which one?

I had an Auto Meter Pro in the Mustang but didn't really want anything that big in the Vette. I also just ordered some twins so I figured it's time to buy another light. Do ya'll recommend the Raptor? Or something else? Thanks!

Hi Jason. I would recommend an A4 and dump the raptor. Did you get the new 'korreck' done yet?

Have a good weekend. We're going racing at E-Town.

Nah, not yet on the "korreck". Lol. My computer is in storage right now and I don't have the programs to do it at the office (I am between houses). Next house on Nov. 2nd. A4! No way dude, that takes the fun out of driving! Got some huge projects coming up. Gonna put the twins in myself, uhhhh, hopefully. All will be well as long as the wife don't find out about them. It will be easy if she sees the install, I'll just tell her that I am putting in some new air lines with fans that help the exhaust move a little more efficiently. Still gotta finish the stereo install as well but I'm gonna put that on hold until I get the twins in. I ordered the head unit a couple of days ago so I have all the major components now. Gonna need that extra weight to keep traction...

If you can't do it nobody can. That will be one screaming machine when you get it done.

I still need you to work on mine. I can't get anything past the wife because I have to drop the car off at a shop. We're going home for Christmas (Florida) so I'll meet you there.

I know some drivers who have a Harlan shift light hidden behind the vent.

I have the raptor located on the lower left side. It is more than bright enough to get your attention when it goes off...
