Supposed to be a cotter pin or spring clip at the end to keep the linkage arm in the trans bracket. Look for a hole in the end of the linkage arm.

They look like a good location. I was considering something similar with a surface mounted LED light but just haven't found a light I like the looks of yet.

I'm leaning toward an early second gen Camaro tail light.
