I didn't write it up because I took it to the race track right after I installed it. The Raptor shift light is a mod I did installed about a month ago, I really like it. Took about an hour to do, and it really works well. It has two rotory switches so you can set the rpm for the shift point at anything you would like. I have mine set at 6300rpm, which seems to work great for me.

The little light is bright, I got the blue LED which is supposed to be the brightest.

Here it is at start up...

Exactly. I never can see the shift light in the HUD. It really helps on the race track when I am concentrating on a dozen different things and the Z likes pulling like a race horse right through red line. Keeps me off the rev limiter for sure.
