Im trying to figure out where to put my shift light..I have carbon fiber gauges on the triple apillar and i custom made my gauge cluster using carbonfiber gauges(indash tach and speedo, fuel level and water temp) I am trying to find a creative spot to put this shift light..any pics or suggestions would be great thanks.

put it in one of the a/c vents on on the rearview mirror bracket

Well i need my vent but one of my buddies brought up the rear view mirrow idea and i thought about it...how would i get it to stay up there though??

And i cant put it behind my cel or anything cuz i dont have one anymore..I'm putting this in when my gauges get here

i hooked my extra harlen WS up to the "hazard" light i believe its called in the cluster, so when i need to shift it pops on. i never use it, i just thought it was a cool origional idea

I originally was gonna but in my cluster but i changed my mind cuz it would have been a pain in the ass to change the pills and whatnot, i know i could just put one in and leave it but knowing me i would want to change it eventually so i would wanna put it outside somewhere. Maybe down a little lower...like take out my ash tray since i dont smoke and make a little bracket and mount it at and angle upwards down there??

zip ties! tuck the wiring up over the headliner and run them down behind the A-pillar.

IMO the cleanest route is not being able to see it at all.

I have a big autometer pro-lite and its in the vent to the right of the steering wheel.
