I have the kit but the instructions don't seem for a 63. The template is to go against the instrument panel. Does someone have a photo of this installed in a 63? Thanks!

Can't help with the '63 portion but your kit is what I call a quick install kit.
Not sure why but these kits seem to be set up for drilling into the dash panel rather than hooking the light into the proper gauge provision Below is a similar kit for 1965-66 with the drilling template;

Park brake warning lamp
The 1963 Oldsmobile small car, the F85 and Cutlass series had a very similar shaped metal dash as the 63 lemans had.
Here is the only photo I have that shows a '63 Cutlass with the drill thru the metal red parking brake warning lamp installed. I believe that this car was a convertible as you can see the power top switch with it's tiny chrome bezel in the photo. Interesting to note that the heater control for the Cutlass is the exact same potmetal, & chrome plated casting as used in the Tempest & the Lemans.

Are you talking about the park brake light or backup lights?
