Default Shift Light is In

Just finished putting the shfit light in and it works!

Used the Harlan light and the instructions on http://www.hashmarks.com. Thanks John for those great instructions!

I had never worked under the dash in the drivers area before. There really is no room for us larger people. What a pain.

:cool: Looks like you mounted your light in the same spot as me using the same fittings...

Hey, I'm pretty skinny and believe me, I didn't have a lot of fun working under the dash either.

The installation was not a pretty sight.

Does it blind you right there?

I haven't had it at the track yet, but it is not blinding at all. Remember you aren't staring at it when you are racing. You will just see it out of peripheral vision. The only time it might be a problem is if I race in the evening.

I just put it up with the 3m molding tape in case it doesn't work out there.

I do have to thank unx_prgmr for his invaluable assistance in the install.

Default Re: (scorp508)

Scorp, mine is pretty much pointed at my head rather than angled up at the roof.

As you know, it is a bright light but I aim it towards my face and then "tweak" it down a little so it isn't aimed squarely into my eyes. After you "tweak" it properly the intensity of the light isn't a problem IMO.

I've never "used" it with it pointing directly in my eyes at night for obvious reasons. During the day, brightness or aim is not an issue.
