here's what I've got. I got the 8 inch one.

Reception is a little worse, but I live in a bigger city not far from the stations I listen to so it's not bad at all.

x2 on the Shortyantenna - I always listen to the hard drive, so it works perfectly for me. Should work great with the windshield lights

You can get one at your local auto parts store if you have access to a 5/16 tap. Look for the one that has female threads on the bottom. The one I bought came with a bunch of adapter studs ( that were useless ). As I mentioned, tap out the bottom of the antenna to 5/16" threads. Get a 5/16 bolt and cut off the hex head. Cut the threads to the proper length.
There you go
