Default Shift Light install in vent

Ok so i have heard of a couple of people putting the shift light in the driver side defroster vent... i have wanted to do that for a while now but i want to leave the vent cover over it so its not just a straight light... is there a company out there that makes a special light for that place? and how do i go about installing it there?

thanks,
matt

I installed a harlan shift light in my pillar vent. I just popped out the vent and mounted it reversed so that the vents pointed towards me.

sorry no pics. I notched the plastic with a knife so that it sat flush and that was about it.

those loose wires are for my sirius radio and not the shift light. I put a grommet I had from work on the end of the shift light and cut some foam to secure the light in the vent. then i drilled a hole in the tubing to run the wires from the raptor. Let me know if you need more pics and I'll got take some more.
