Which shift light?

I need a shift light or tach bad. I am hitting the rev limiter at 6,550 when my tach read anywhere from 5,700 to 6.100. Which one is the most acurate and the easiest to install.

Thanks

I have a Harlan shiftlight. I love it. Three wires, easy install, and fits in the A-pillar trim. Good stuff.

I had a Harlan, then replaced it with a Raptor. I recommend the Raptor hands down.

I have a Harlan and highly recommend it. Never seen a raptor, but the Harlan is definately better than the Autometers

Harlan here. Fits in a-pillar perfectly. You'll have to wait at least 4 weeks to get it when you order.

I love my autometer one! Havn't missed a shift since I put it on, so much more consistant with a shift light. I like this autometer one b/c it's so tiny and it work AWESOME right where it's placed. I didn't want to stuff something in my vent or pillar and have to look away from the road ahead of my (or track) and I didn't want a gawdy HUGE shift light hanging around either on my dash. This one doesn't cover up any gauges, or lights this is why I like it. Hope the pictures help.

Here are some pics of it:

Where can I get the Raptor. What all do I need? Do all of them need an activation switch?

Thanks

The Raptor and the Harlan don't need the RPM switch, it is built in.

Stewart Warner sells one as well. Even has the RPM readout built into the light, dunno if it helps any though. No pills, adjustable.

Harlen sucks. I had two and both broke within six months. I emailed him both times they broke and he never returned any of my emails. Don't assume the Harlen will be warrantied if you get it (not that it matters since it seems he has more business than he can handle anyway.) Just my $.02.
