...you need to make sure they are visible from certain angles as well. Careful of the inward visibility - you must be able to see the left one from 45 degrees over to the right, and vice-versa. If you mount it too far back on the nosecone then it won't comply. So, no set distance back from the front, but you need to make sure you can see it from all the specified angles. I notice that many production cars don't seem to comply with this, annoyingly.
