Default Where can I put a switch?

I thought I would post this question here because the task includes wiring, etc. Does anyone know where I can put a switch in my car? I really would like to have it mounted somewhere instead of just hangin out, and the wires showing, etc. As some of you know, in the 4-Cyl 6th Gen Accords, there are 3 slots next to the steering wheel. One for the sunroof controls, one for cruise control, and one blank one. I already have a switch in that slot which is being used to control something else. I was considering hiding the switch in the tray below those slots. Anyone know a better place to mount it? Thanks.

what is it for? since you were thinking about putting it next to the moonroof switch and stuff I'm assuming it is not something you need to hide (like a kill switch)..

anyway I'm not sure about the 6th Gen Accords as I don't have one.. but both my Civic and Integra have 4 pop out panels by the E-brake that you can use to add a switch and you can run the wiring under the panel so the wires aren't exposed.. and drill a hole to mount the switch on the removable (pop out/pry out) little console panels..

Well, I'd rather not say because I know I'll get made fun of for it. There aren't any open slots like that on my car. As for the switch I put in the open slot, it's not something that I really care if it's hidden, or not.

You guessed it. Relax though, I don't have thousands of neons in my car like those in F&F. I only have 4, and that's all I'm going to have for the interior. I have 2 10" neons under the dash, then 2 8" neons under the seats. Those are hooked up to that one switch. The switch, that I can't find a place for, is for my LED washers. It's a hassle removing the headlights to access the parking lights. So I figured another switch would be easier.

you can put it in the tray or in a cupholder for hidden or just drill a spot in the dash for easy access. or you could use your a/c switch to trigger a pop out button that you can press, lol.

Oh, I see, F&F comparison with that last comment..."or you could use your a/c switch to trigger a pop out button that you can press, lol."

Actually, it really doesn't matter if it's hidden, or not. I just need to know a few good places that I can mount it, then I can go from there.
