Similar to what I did about 2 years ago. Mine is inside the cluster. I did a DIY writeup on removing the cluster here.

It blocks the turn signal and brights indicators but I never look at them anyway.

If you mount it in the cig box it will be out of your line of sight. When it's in the cluster you see it go off in your peripheral before you hear it.

I thought about doing that, but I want it in my view of sight... light travels faster than sound. I want that **** in my face for better reaction time... I'm working on something that would be a sick upgrade for the display position
