Default Shift lights...where to mount ?
I was wondering where some of you guys mounted your shift lights and if you can post pics.
Thanks,

Depends on the type of shift light. I am using an Autometer shift light:

i like the autometer shift light but i don't want to run a durl pillar pod on my 2004 coupe and i haven't been able to find anyone who sells a single pod for the 04 C5...I am in the process of mounting my fuel pressure and boost under the ashtray door on my center console.

I have seen the smaller ones mounted inside the center air conditioner vent. You can't see it mounted there until it lights up and it is right in your line of sight.

Nice install there. I have seen some pics of the shift light just mounted on the A-pillar too (not in a gauge pod).
