I have mine mounted there. It is a harlan shift light. Just cut the plastic pieces out of the inside of the vent, and trim the hole up a bit and it goes right in there. I love the location, but miss my ds defrost.

I installed my Raptor shift light behind the vent to the right of the steering wheel. You can't see it unless it tells you to shift Perfect, day and night.
