toggle switches

I'm going to be installing some blue strobe lights in my car.(like cop cars) I'm wanting your opinions as to where I should install some simple on/off toggle switches.

I'm a firefighter, so I can run blue lights in my car. I cannot speed with them, just clear traffic so I can respond a little faster. I'm thinking two mounted to the rear deck and two mounted in the grill, but I'm not sure where yet. Where to tastefully mount the switches is my main concern.

I was thinking of getting the CF cubby hole plate and mounting to to them. Or make a plate that will fit in the bottom of the glove compartment, but that me be somewhat of a reach to turn them on/off. The only other thing I can think of is mounted somewhere in the armrest cubby.

I'm just torn as to where they should be mounted. Your input would be much appreciated.

It'll be something like these.

i dont think putting strobe lights in your dashboard will gonna be a good idea( so it wont interfere with your driving).I know coz I used to do it on my past job.you could just put 2 lights in your front bumper in front of your intercooler.

That's what I was gonna do. I'm sick of running a dash light and not being able to see the whole road.

What about the two empty switches next to your left knee when your sitting down. Mine are blank but it might be because i dont have ssl.

What about where the old IC spray switch used to go? I have 3 rocker switches lined up there on my IX and it looks factory.
