Default good place to put toggle

Where is a good place to put toggle switches neatly so they are at easy reach. I need to put two switches somewhere. Right now I have one switch in the gap between the steering wheel and the lower panel cover, but this one I want to move since its not very convient.

i have mine right into the center console it looks professional but for best results use a nos toggle switch like this it has a cover to keep from accidentally hitting them

Yah I dont have my cd holder there, mine on the ceiling since I have a floor shifter. I took my dash trim off yesterday and noticed that there is a fairly convientent space between the steering column and the headlight switch area.

I have my fog light rocker switch right above the rear hatch button, it was not being use anyways and it looks factory.Another reason I put it their is because I can get power from the fuse box.The plastic cover pops off with a flat head screwdriver,then cut out an access hole with a dremel.I wish I could post a pic but I can't figure out how, but you get the idea right?

depending on how big the toggle is, you can mount it on the side of the dashwill have to do it toward the top almost even w/ the mirrior. so when door is closed it will be almost invisible. i dont have pic but i had my bass remote mounted there on my xtreme
