I have the small Auto Meter shift light mounted on the A pillar.It is attached just a little lower than the fuel pressure gauge pod and is pointed right at my eye level.

Shift Light (LED)??
OK - Maybe y'all don't need one but I do. Things start happening pretty quick when you drop the hammer - specially in the first couple of gears and I find myself not paying attention to the tach like I should. There's a lot of Z's out there with more HP than mine but I'm pushing the limit on non forged innards and a stock aspirated LS6. I did a forum search b4 I did this post but found nothing telling me I might be somewhat retarded?? Is there anyone out there that frequently goes past the red line or someone who has done a sano install of a shift light? I'd sure like some info on brands that work and sano install locations in a '02 Z06.
Many Thanks in advance from an over the hill hot rodder

Thanks for the responses
Yeah - I thought the A-pillar up high might be the most noticeable. The Zs are pretty well guaged out as you know - I'm not planning to run boost or anything else and most A-pillar replacements for guages have a 3 guage setup. Anyone know of a source offering a 1 guage pod?

That was my concern
I need a light that will get my attention. I was looking at the Auto Meter light - looks like they offer both the smaller LED version like the Raptor or the larger light that would fit in an A pillar pod. I'm going to check it out. AND - what about the wiring connections - I've never been one that likes to splice in to stock wiring harnesses - sometimes a recipe for disaster. I converted my Bose sound system to JL complete with amps and mp3 player, kept the stock HU and never cut or spliced a factory wire. Again - any info from someone whose been there - done that will be appreciated. Many thanks!!!
