Default Need shift light recommendations

I am looking to buy a shift light but I would like one that is pretty visible in the day light because that’s when I do most of my driving. I would rather stay away from one of those big monster lights w/ tachs, just one of the cylinder type probably. Anyone recommend a brand that is good for day driving?

Raptor shift light. Some of the sponsors on the right sell them. Nice and bright and easy to install. Can also be installed quite easily somewhere stealthy.

definately go with the raptor. I just got one and put it in the little vent on the A pillar. You can see it just fine in the daylight

I had always heard good things about the Harlan shiftlights. Anyone using those anymore?

The Raptor shiftlight has gotten awesome reviews tho.

I ran one for a while & it worked flawlessly. Super easy to set & install & super bright. I had a red one & placed it in my a-pillar defrost vent hole.

Harlan & Raptor are both pretty much thew same. I like th raptor better because it is easy to change the RPM's on it. It is very easy to see during the day. Plenty of options on where to put it also.

Just bought a raptor shift light from one of our sponsors. I got a pretty good deal on it too.
