Default hidden shiftlights

did a search, didnt find anything

post up pictures of ANY hidden shift lights. im going to try to hide one in my AC vent above the radio controls.

Thanks

edit, doesnt have to be hidden as long as it flows with the interior (defrost vent etc)

it is a harlan shift light. I just "mounted" it with some duct tape, you have to drill a hole so you can run the wires down thru the dash to under the steering wheel and splice away

my Harlan shift light is in my driver side AC vent closest to the door. come out this saturday and you can check it out.

Putting it there made it easier to run the wires since you dont have to drill or anything.

I have my Raptor in the vent like the first pic. Just take off the radio bezel and run the wiring up from below, the shift light seems to stay in place just fine.

Eventually I'm going to get a new Bezel and put the shift light behind the instrument cluster.

Link into the wire for your tach coming out of ECM, And harlan in vent abouve radio here too!! Justlike first pic, works great and very noticeable. Red is only coor that does not affect vision though, in case you were wondering.
