Default Shift lights What are you guys using?

Ive looked at autometer and all they have is the Pill kits is there any other that use dial adjustments to adjust the shift points.

I also use this as well as a bright LED wired into the MIL that is mounted on my pillar. Small and bright as hell. Not a fan of the big shift lights.

In my race car I use the SW big 5 inch tach with shift light b/c I am still a ricer. In my daily driver I use the SW shift light with built in tach.

It's bright enough to be seen during the day. I would recommend mounting it so that the LEDs are pointing directly toward your eyes to maximize daytime visibility. The blue LEDs also have the brightest output, but I think they charge more for them. I have the red LEDs and I can see them fine during the day.

I also did custom shift lights in my car using leds. I used an autometter rpm activation box to trigger a set of leds that I mounting in the top of the cluster. I removed the light strip on top of the cluster and replaced with 3 amber leds for lighting up the needles. Then cut in 4 really bright leds that light the cluster completly green. They are even bright enough to see during the daytime. You can't see anything until they light up. I don't like when you can see everything in the car.
