Question Dakota Digital VHX install question

I am almost done installing the new set of VHX gauges in my 68. I like them a lot. My question is where is everyone putting those SW1 and SW2 buttons? I had thought about trying to put them on the bottom side of the dash (not the gauge bezel) so they were easily accessible. I know the wires coming off of the switch aren't very long but just wondering where everyone is putting them.

You should be able to extend those wires with no issues.

Nice to see a 130 Flight Engineer, Im a 130J FM/LM.... I put them on my dash bezel on my SS but somewhere hidden yet accessible the better, you will need them to setup the gauges and use the features.

I mounted mine on a small plate inside the glove box.
