Stick it on the dash above the cd player so it is noticable to thieves. Unless youve got the clifford alarm that comes with the led light thing for the side windows

I've got my led on the right of the steering wheel so you can see if thru the windows.

I was going to start a similar thread, as I'm having mine fitted on Thursday.
A more discreet place is the front fog switch, if you don't have front fogs.
I like Kens location, and also thought of about the hazard warning light switch, but thought it might obstruct things.
Looks like there are more threads in the 'Related Threads' bit below which I am going to check out.

The sport hazard switches are different from above. They have a hole for the alarm LED as standard. Maybe worth the money, rather than drilling holes in the dash?

Where abouts? On the actual LED switch that pops in and out, or the plastic bit above?

same mats as me halfords are great
I personally think either the best place is above the hazard switch or where mine is as you can really see it at any angle of the car if someone was to look in the back etc

Ken - I'm toying with where you have it if he can't put it above the MFD.
Necro (forgot your name sorry, I'm terrible with names) - If I had it there, I'd probably move it to the frontfog switch.

What if one day you decide to get fog lights installed i.e. gsi bumper I'm doing that (hopefully one day lol) so I was glad that the installer decided on the place where mine is

I don't want it on the fog light switch anyway, as it isn't visible enough imho. It was just a 'what if' scenario!

He decide? I didn't really have much option - he put it where you have it, so a good choice! He said that is the easiest place to put it on Corsa's!
