They go where ever they fit
and where the bleed nipple/valve is the highest point of the caliper.

I have to do mine for rego, and it worries me trying to find somewhere that doesn't look like an "add on" from SuperCheap
.
Plan at this stage is to pull apart the Oil/Gen/Temp idiot-light guage set, and add an extra red jewel to the assembly. Theres an evil part of me that says I should add an extra light for a nitrous arming switch
, but the sensible part of me says theres enough stuff to do on the wagon now to keep me busy.
Theres a post somewhere here that Rosco did on replacing the jewel lights with LEDs, probably where I'll start. Will have to redo the "glass" lettering, but would have to do that anyway (want to tart up my gauges as per Matty Martin's process).

in a brake fail light ever
If the brakes fail, your going to know about it anyway

It used to be (or still is ) law that you fit a brake fail light in the system when upgrading brakes, you will need to use the HQ-HZ distributor block that has the plastic plug in sensor.

Didn't some EK's come out with a handbrake light on the dash? Maybe you could do something similar with the brake fail light, and it won't look out of place

Billy,
Check with Smooth on the OldHoldens forum - from memory he has a hand brake warning light for sale, and may part with some photos/fitting instructions.
