Relocate them, you have 2 choices, relocate the stock controls. That's what I did:

Or make your own. All you need is 2 momentary push-button switches, You can mount them anywhere on the car/dash Even if you want to get a racing wheel with buttons, or drill holes and/or mount them on the steering wheel (aka, Fast And Furious NOS style)

Here's J-Beef's switches, their on the wheel hub cover, but you cna put them anywhere in the car.

We can definitely help you out on that, and it's doable. You have several options, you just need to decided what to do.

thanks Nd4SpdSe. i will relocate the stock cruise control switches then. they're different though, in that they are tabs, so i'll keep looking for a good spot. a larger and rectangular insert i guess.

i was planning also to get a red/red carbon fiber hood, and too bad none come with winshield-washer nozzles. that results in drilling eh?

and one more thing: there is a "blank button" (that doesn't push in) near the cigarette lighter in the center console. it has a step to it. i guess mine was optioned out so it has that filler. what button is supposed to go there?

There's one there and one the same beside the power mirror switch. I'm not sure which spot the factory recommended to place the fog light switch at though (for the 92/93's).

For the front fog lights, it was on the dash by the mirror control and dash dimmer. The blank by the cigarette lighter is for the rear fog light

Just thought I would bump this as I'm going to convert my wheel over as well. From other posts, I guess I need a 6 hole hub but not sure specifically which one to get. Help would be appreciated!!

Well, I dont think there are many 6-bolt hubs. Most 6-bolt wheels use momo hubs, they're typically advertised as using the momo pattern. Unless specified, it *should* be safe to assume it;s compatible with a momo hub

Looked on EBAY, can someone show me the exact hub (picture or link)? Which of the two hubs from Corksport is the correct one? I don't think I have airbags as I've never seen a dash light or anything on the steering wheel.

Other than MOMO there are another 6 bolt hub out there with a different pitch circle diameter. I believe the Mazda/ Nardi PCD is larger. I remember a local shop had someone bring in a wheel to install. It didn't work. I have a turntable with a divider wheel on my drill press so I took the hub and redrilled and tapped new holes half way between the existing holes at the correct PCD.

For anyone interested here's a shot of my wheel. (sorry about the res. It was a high res shot in it's day almost 10 years ago)
