where to put Switches?

I am considering some mods, and one of them is adding an aoogah horn. I want to leave the original horn in place for the time being.
I have a couple of other ideas for things to wire up, but I am wondering where to put the switches? I want it to look good.
I am tempted to put them in the upper glovebox, since that way they are hidden.

Any other ideas or how did you do it?

Thanks,
Matt

What about in this area or the other side of the column?

How about on the panel below the steering column....easy to reach
and out of direct sight.

I was looking down there.
The only reason why I have not planed for there, is during an accident(heaven forbid), you can get impaled on things down there. I keep leaning toward inside the upper glove box. Or maybe building a flat panel that sits in the change tray...

my interior cathode switch i put in the cig lighter in the dash. i don't use it, and the switch looks factory. my UB switch is tucked up under the steering column.

I would do something that looks factory. also always wise to drill holes in peices that are easy to replace and easy on the pocket book:)

here is one way to do it if you dont wont a switch showing... its pretty neat little trick... I use this for turning on/off some cold cathodes and led lighting in my interior.. works very nicely and is hidden from view... its a basic single channel remote relay for up to 15amps 12vdc...
