That is pretty decent.. Does it do both at the same time? I saw the shift light part, but noticed no gear was showing? Are you just revving it on the last part or driving? Either way that is pretty sweet. Too bad is wasn't a 2 1/16" gauge size huh?

I was revving in neutral for the last part of the video. It does both gear and shift light. Ya, a 2 1/16in would be nice too, but the WRC style isn't bad.

I use a Stewart Warner shift light. It has digital rpm display and 5 bright LEDs.

Errr...I've been driving for ~30 years and have amassed my share of competitive seat time, and I wouldn't mind having a shift light. In fact, I'm seriously considering installing one behind the center HVAC vents.

Works great for when you have a helmet on and cannot hear the motor as well or can't/don't want to look down. Quick glance over - bam, instant info.

Firm believer in shift lights for consistency (drag) and tracking.

Exactly! My eyes are usually focused straight ahead, looking down the road.

That is why I would like to get one installed, this way it will be easier for my G/F to learn. This is why I am looking for suggestions. What does everyone think of the sequential shift lights?

I'm trying to decide between this one:

and the Raptor Shift Light mentioned above.

The e-bay gloshift is less expensive but I'm not sure if I want the tachometer/RPM readout. This might get a bit annoying at night.
