Default best location for activation button and purge switch

I am getting a new kit installed tommorow. My car is for street use only, I dont do any drag racing. I was wondering the best location to put the activation and purge switch?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Thanks !

I agree the ashtray would be the best area.

The nitrous outlet ashtray switch setup is the bomb. Have one installed on mine and love it.

PS,,,,,,,should have new NOS kit installed (starting with 100 shot before upgrading stock ignition & increasing up to 150hp) - (praying this won't be a problem without unforged internals) should also have post install dyno tune done within 3-5 days, if anyone local wants to volunteer to help me street test my new toy let me know (PM me)- all in good fun - safety as always a priority !

Peace & here's to health, wealth and happiness in the New Year to all my friends on ls1tech.com !
