Default Best shift light

Are there any decent shift lights out there that are extremely bright and accurate, while being fully adjustable (no pills)??

I see the Proform light but I did a search on here and found some saying it is pretty dim

I know there is the Harlan light which I might get.

Or buy some IC's and make one with a PIC.

Hmmm...

Any opinions?

I have the raptor also. I like it better, the quality is nice, but for me the selling point was the ease of use. You can easily adjust the setings on them with a small screw driver & dail settings. Not some little 3 position switches you have to get in the right order.

Thanks guys, I had already decided after Buckeye replied because I looked at the web page and it looks like a nice unit and I can pick one up 3 miles from my house

Can't beat the Harlan for the price. It's not hard to program.

Harlan or raptor, they are very similar to each other. I have a raptor and I love it, very small and VERY bright.

Give harlan your business, he needs the money to wake up that slow car of his. I love mine, and im planning on installing the LEDs into the gauge cluster soon.

Another vote for the Harlan. It may not look as nice as the Raptor, but if it's going in an A/C vent (like mine), why pay almost twice the price if you aren't gonna' see it?
