Get yourself a raptor performance shiftlight. It's small, really bright, well-constructed and is entirely self-contained (no pills or external RPM switches). It's just a simple 3-wire hookup.
Here's more info http://www.raptorperformance.com

seems like a good deal, i thought the same thing about the $40 msd and autometer ones, bu then you have to buy the pills and what not. i have never heard of that company, do the have good service?

I am very happy with my Harlan. I installed it in the air vent. Very clean install, & works awsome.

Yeah the center trim panel just pops off, its held in with clips. Really easy to do, www.installuniversity.com has a good write up on how to do it as well.
