Most shift lights are VERY easy to install. They just "plug into" your Tach wire (RPM wire) leading to your tachometer/ECU. Autometer, Harlan, MSD, etc are some great reputable shift lights.....

But do know that most shift lights require the use of "pills", that are actual "chips" that you have to buy separately to get the wanted shift point. The Harlan shift light, found at www.harlan-engineering.com does NOT need the pills. I personally am using this one and I love it.....

Or if you have an RSM you can hook any light to that and program it through the RSM.

I have a proform shift light that requires no pills and was very easy to wire.
