by far one of the easiest things I have done, Raptor shift light is amazing. Bright as shioot and wiring was easier then wiring up my stereo sytem. They just increased their price but still well worth it. Hide it in your vent and everthing will look stock until it lights up.

I concur, the Raptor shift lights rock, and can go almost anywhere. I like the blue one personally...
