I've seen them mounted by the a-pillar, on the steering column and on top of the dash (over where the three vent locations are). I personally like them over top of the vent locations but everyone has a different opinion. It comes down to where you like them at and where it's easiest for you to see.

a-pillar does look badass, but I went ahead and mounted it on the dash. Oh well i can always move it.
