Recommendations for Shift Light

What are folks using for Shift Lights?
Looking at Raptor shift light with launch option, but mfg cannot supply vehicle specific wiring instructions.
Any recommendations will help.
TY

Which one did you get? If you don't mind would you share the install cost?

I purchased the factory 997 SSK from suncoast.
After looking into the aftermarket brands, I found out that they are not complete shifters.
They are pieces you install to your old shifter. Been around performance cars all my life, If you have a choice between modify or replace, it is a no brainer.
Installed myself, &^*#@&, I followed instructions I found on the LIST.
Almost all the videos and step by step, state it should take 1.5-2.0 hours
It took me 6+ hours !!
Most of the time was figuring out that there were steps, like hidden screws left out of instructions.
The worst part by far, was the very small wire that connects to the rear console lock, wow what a pain to get to.
Also, had to reconnect battery at critical point, to move passenger seat all the way back and recline, so you can lift out console.
Not difficult, but you should be willing to go at slow pace, and take photos of shifter cables before removing to use for reference.
