I am pretty sure they go by "shift plate" but I don't think the bird one would work. The center consoles are considerably different

try looking at thirdgenresource.com
they usually can have you compare the parts to see if they're the same (just by looking at the pics) and usually group them together if they are
not saying you need to buy from there, but it is sort of a rational, logical, deductive way to find out

I had my shiftlight in the lighter socket hole for a long time. It was a good place for it, and very visible (I had it aimed slightly up and toward the driver.) The lighter wasn't an issue for me since I don't allow smoking in the car.
