The panel that the cigarette lighter is in pulls right off. If you look to the left and right, there are holes allowing wires to pass through in the dash. I installed a switch on each side of the cigarette lighter and snapped to panel back on. Just drilled the holes in the panel piece and mounted switches with no issues.

I used a handheld rotary tool to remove the dummy clips and smooth out the back of that panel.

I put my 2wd low-range switch in the side of my Edge programmer pod. No cutting to the dash.
