Default Toggle Switches

Looking for a cool and functional spot to mount two toggle switches in a 2004 Lairat. The switches are for three KC off-road lights and blue accent LED's. Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking I'm gonna do. It seems like the best way to do it.

Under the cup holder mine has a recessed area, which was my first thought, but seemed to low to reach. Plus with cup holder pulled out, makes it more difficult.

Right now, I have two mounted underneath and to the left of the steering wheel, about six inches below the headlight switch. It's not a bad place to have them, it just doesn't look 'stock'.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Did you have to go with a low profile rocker switch?
