Default smallest shift light?

im looking for a shift light for my magnum. when in manual (autostick mode) it revs up so fast past 4K that im never sure where to shift it without keeping an eye on the trach. im looking for a tiny one that i can maybe put in the vent or something (like the old harlans). any suggestions? speed incs site has raptor ones that ive never seen before. they look pretty small. any other suggestions?

Harlan still makes the shift light. I bought mine a month or two ago. I like it. I got the blue LED one even tho it was a little more. Well worth the $$$.

Raptor shiftlight is about as big around and long as a roll of nickels. Very small and can fit in a lot of spaces.

that looks easy enough. where do you get a harlan at? ive searched and cant find it.

also, how are you guys affixing it inside your vents? this is going in my magnum so i need to figure out how to go about that. do you just tap into any hot, or do you have to tap into a coil lead?

Shift light has 3 wires...power, ground, and tach. Power and ground are self explanatory, tach wire goes to the engine speed wire from your cars PCM. You will have to get ahold of Chrysler or find a wiring diagram to get this info.
