I was thinking about picking up a Raptor Shift light for my car since they are the best priced I have seen. ($85). Does anyone have feedback on these?? Also if you have one what color did you get??

couldnt you just watch the tach and shift when you think its approprate instead of spending $85 on a light that flashes when its time...

The factory tach lags and is not accurate. Plus I do a lot of bracket racing so consistancy is key.

I bought a Harlan for less about $30 less than a Raptor. Bought a red one and placed it into my the right-most vent in the middle of the dash. Works great!

Any idea if he is still selling them? The last update on his website was December of '05.

If his store is open, he's selling.

I have had the harlan installed for over a year and a half. Works great and its really nice to keep ur eyes on the road/track when banging the gears at the site of the light. Its programmable obviously and very bright even during the daytime. I pit mine in the drivers side defrost vent. Looks nice and works well.

I have the raptor, but I got a good deal on a used one. Call harlan and see how soon they can ship one out. I've heard they're either not in business anymore or just have a very long wait for products. I'm very happy with my purchase. Gotta love the adjustability instead of buying a seperate rpm module and/or pills.

Sweet, I think I'll send Harlan an e-mail and see what the deal is.

I have a Raptor mounted in my center dash vent. It is a red light. I love it. Keeps you eyes off the dash and on the road.

I was thinking about getting yellow. Anyone else have this color??

After asking a few other people I decided to go with Red. Anyone have any tips for installation???

I mounted mine on the steering column with some double sided tape. I just wanted to hook it up fast instead of trying to fish the wire down from the vent. I also plugged it into my MSD box and it's much more accurate than the stock tach.
