Default Shift Light Placement
I was curious if anyone had some pics of shift light placement, trying to decide where to install for best performance and look?

Hmmm, I have mine in the A-Pillar defroster vent at the moment. But am not sure if I want to keep it there or not as I DD my car in the warmer months. And the one day it was kind of wet out my windows fogged and I could have used that vent. I ended up changing to the dash vents and pointing it at my window. Then back to windshield defrost.

I like a few of those other ideas though. Got me thinking now.
