Recumbent Trikes - Where to Put the Lights?

From my early tests, it seems to me there is even less real estate on
the handlebars of a Darkside trike as on a normal bike.

I'm going to need a computer, mirrors, lights and preferably also an
Airzound horn, in addition to the brake and shifter controls. Where does
it all go?...

I have an older version of this mount on the derailer [1] mast of a SWB
recumbent [2] - it should work on any trike with such a mast:

This has room for two lights, or a light and a cyclometer.

ICE/Trice makes a mount that clamps onto the mast:

The cyclometer can also be mounted on the main tube in front of the seat
where it is easily reached while seated. There are custom mounts for
this, or one can be made from two hose clamps (one around the tube, the
other held perpendicular to the tube by the first), a piece of dowel
(held by the second clamp) and some electrical tape [3].

[2] My trike has a built in version.
[3] I had such a mount on a USS Reynolds Wishbone.
