So, I didn't want to permenately mount my light. I didn't want any holes left behind and wanted to be able to remove it easily.

I went out and found an iPhone holding stand ($3.50 + $3.00 shipping) that had a nice curve to it and was black. I then used a dremel tool to cut out a section. I lightly sanded the edges and also rounded off the ends. I then used a lighter to lightly melt the outside where I sanded it to give it a gloss look again.

This allowed me to jam it in between the A-pillar and the dash. I used some velcro (but you could use some double back 3M tape) to attach the clamp to the small bracket.

The nice thing about this is that since I only go to the track handfull of times a year I can pull the shift light and hide it behind the cover of the fuse box in the dash. I can then pull the bracket I made right out of the side of the dash and put it in my center console. Once I get to the track I can put it together in less than 5 minutes. Plus if I ever have to take it to the dealer for some reason then I can hide the shift light. I'm concerned they might say I'm abusing my car by drag racing it and try to void my warranty or something. This setup makes it super easy to just hide behind the panel whenever it goes in. There is no ratteling and it doesn't fall out. I've already tested it.
