Default Who mounted a Shift light on there pillar?

Looking for pictures of shift lights mounted on the pillar. I was thinking about buying a quick light from autometer and mounting it on the side of the pillar. Would like to see pictures if anyone has done this

Had to dig this up from a post back in 2004...scary. Not sure if this is what you're talking about, but here's how I had mine set up:

I've got my Harlan shift light mounted in my defroster vent in the a-pillar. Stealth, effective and very clean.

Thats how i plan to do mine.

I forget who makes it, but the one i was looking at is like a 4 stage shift light, seems like a pretty fancy idea.

It's for the line lock. It goes on when it's armed.

Thanks!

It's a Harlan Shift Light. Great Product!

It's an Autometer pod. I got it at a local shop, but I'm pretty sure you could find it on the Summit website, or any supporting vendor.

I remember looking at his gauges before, but i guess the autometer one, would better match my other autometer gauges.

I have a autometer shift light with the digital tach on my pillar, I will see if I can find some pictures of it when I get home. If I could do it all over again I would use a harlan shift light in the defroster vent thuogh, it looks much cleaner.
