I fiddled around a bit trying to come up with a spot to mount them, Ended up with the simple placement on dash (same as I had on my old '82). They are not intrusive and if you mount with double sided tape you don't have to drill holes. Routing the wires did require cutting a notch on the instrument panel cover, was the least destructive way I could come up with.
