IMO The Raptor is the easiest to install and is the best light out there. I am very happy with mine

I like my Omex shift light,

The control module is seperate from the light, I have the control module mounted under the roof panel and the light portion is so small I've got it mounted to my rear view mirror.

No one even notices it until it lights up.

Another vote for raptor. 3 wires to install, extremely easy to use and works really well.

I have a Raptor....it's about the same as Harlans. Either are nice. Might be able to get the Raptor easier though, not sure if Harlan has his store open now.

raptor and harlan seem to be the most popular. i like my Harlan b/c of how easy it is the change the settings, but the raptor is easier to get ahold of. it took me a while to get my harlan, but it was worth it to me.
