Too lazy to go out to the garage and take a pic, but I put mine where the fog light switch was.

It's a little too small to fit nicely in the vent on the pillar.

No its not, you just have to cut the hole the right size. That's where I have mine mounted, and I love it. You don't even notice its there until it lights up . I'll try and post some pics of mine later tonight.

You guys with firebirds. How did you mount it in the vent? I looked at putting it there but it wouldn't work. I don't remember why now. I ended up putting it on top of the a pillar next to the windshield. I like it there, it's out of the way and can't see it unless you are sitting in the seat.

well mines int the vent above the radio. I had to epoxy the two brackets that raptor sent w/ the light to get it up high enough, well at least in my opinion. My light now sits almost right in the center of the vent. you will have to pull the radio to install the light.
