Default Shift Lights and Gauge question...

I'm thinking about getting a shift light in the near future as my rev counter seems to be out by about 200-300rpm depending on what gear i'm in.
I'm after somthing subtle but does the job as i dont want anything that stands out too much.

Can anyone recommend one on the market to go for?

Also...
i'm going to get the 3 guage pod that goes where the cetner vents are, but what gauges are the most important to have? Oil temp, Air/Fuel ratio Sensor, Oil pressure or a water temp gauge (as the std item is hardly accurate )

Cheers,
Dan

Oil temp and pressure are a must... Presume you've already got a boost gauge..??

AFR's are apparently only worth gettin if you spend loads.. Wouldn't bother with water temp, unless it's part of a dual-gauge like SPA's digitals..
