Default buying another raptor shiftlight, color choice

so yeah.. let's give this another shot. I'm not spending the $110 this time on the blue LED cuz who knows if it'll even work lol I want the black housing but I dunno what color for the LED.. I'm thinking green cuz it'll match the rest of the interior lights, even my head unit.. and I know it won't be an issue seeing it cuz those things are brighter than hell. Opinions?

If you don't want the blue again. Then get the green to match, but I personally like the blue the best.

blue, but it would depend on your current interior color scheme and dash illuminations

I guess do green, but personally, I dont want anything that looks like the lights I already have, as I dont know that Id see them that well when Im not paying attention. Im getting yellow.

I already sold my old one to Blake, he hooked it up to see if it would work fine on his car.. and last I've heard it never threw an SES light for him /shrug

I got tired of messing with the old one and having to make new connections to the wires in my computer all the time to test it.. I figured I would just send it to Blake and see if the actual shiftlight itself was bad

I honestly don't see me ever changing the gauges.. I like the stock ones, dont' care to have SVT ones, don't like any aftermarket ones.. mach 1's are sweet but I don't see me putting those in either lol

green it is I guess

So I think I've decided on red.. I decided against the green idea cuz supposedly it's hard to see and I've decided to mount it down by my cluster, so I want a color to sorta contrast that.
