Default which shift light?

I didn't know which forum to post this in, so hopefully this is right. Which shift light is it that fits in the little vent on the pillar? I don't want a huge 5" tach with a shift light attached, so I'm going with a smaller 3 3/8" and putting the shift light in that vent.

harlan fits perfectly in the defroster vent and is cheaper, the raptor is easier to adjust shift points but is a smaller and requires a grommet to fit into the vent and is more expensive!

im ordering a harlan in a couple days!

I have a Stewart Warner shift light and it's got an integrated digital tacho.



Lots of people reckon the Gizzmo ones are good too.

Raptor here. I freakin' love it. Nice and compact, bright as **** and easy to adjust. 2 dials, one for thousands of RPMS and one for the hundreds, as seen in the pic a couple of posts above.

Raptor works great in the center A/C vent and is very bright.
