Default Relocate in bed light switch

I have the LED bed lights AND the factory drop in bed liner. The switch to turn on the bed lights is located through a hole in the left side of the bed liner. It's very difficult to press through the small hole. Does anyone have a solution to relocate it to an area that is more accessible.

Ah hah...That's nice...It's a case of one engineer decided where the light button should go and another engineer designed the bed extender.

As for the OP, is the hole in your drop in bedliner the same size/shape as the button? Maybe there's enough slack in the wiring that you can take the button out and make it fit into the hold in the liner.

that's my initial thought. If the hole is different I'd be fine putting it in a new hole in the general vicinity. Not sure if it has to be water tight though.
