Shift light install
I recently bought a Harlen shift light and had been trying to decide where i want to mount it. I decided to go talk to my friend Brett at XP-Racing in Oklahoma City to see what he could come up with. After brainstorming for a few minutes he suggested mounting it inside the drivers side A-Pillar. So off it came to have holes drilled in it where only the LED bulbs would show. The end results were great i couldn't be any happier with how it looks. Brett did a great job drilling out the pillar and wiring everything up. These pics aren't the greatest, but let me know what you think.

Interesting and unique mounting for a shift light. Never have seen one like that before. The Harlan is larger than my Raptor so I imagine it took a bit of planning to fit it in the A-pillar. Nice work and cool idea - very creative.
I was already mounting a WB gauge so I decided to move my Raptor from the same position you have yours in to a dual pod. I started with the small C-bracket Raptor provided and moved it over to a custom mount in the pod.

Btw, along the way, I made several custom C-brackets for the Harlan for some buddies. Here's a pic of it next to the smaller Raptor bracket.
