I put my relays in the glove box and used double sided tape to put my window switch in there too.

I drilled a hole near the front of the compartment and ran the wires in a loom through there, its pretty slick.

Hide the relays up under the dash. Nitro Dave has some nice switches that fit in that sunglass compartment under the heat/fan controls. Window switch in glove compartment.

I like that idea but I have a question. I dont know to much about electrical stuff but I heard that a certain length wire can only carry so much amperage. Those wires shouldnt have a problem going to the engine bay correct?

If is anything bigger like a power/ground then run the same size or a bit bigger.

My kits have all worked with that 'scheme'.
