Toggle switches for an 88 ranger

[Rangerboss]

So I'm wiring some lights to the front of my truck. My biggest question is where should I mount the toggle switch for them? I'm trying to avoid cutting the dash and all for if I ever want to take them out. Any suggestions?

This is what I did on my 85, with the reasoning that it's easy enough to replace that piece of the dash later if I want to get rid of them (and then when a red interior truck showed up in the junkyard, I picked up the piece so I'd have a spare).

There's a gap in the dash structure right behind where those switches are, I believe because the Bronco II has the rear wiper switch in that spot. I put relays for my aux lighting under the hood, and borrowed a hot-in-run feed from an unused spot in the fusebox to feed the switches, so if I leave the switches on, the lights turn off when the key is turned off.

That looks to be about my best option I was thinking of building a panel box to go under the lip of the dash. Just seems to be a lot of work for 4 lights

Yeah that or you can make a lip bracket to go under the dash. There is a spot in the middle with some open holes that can be used.

There is also the same open spot belt trim on the other side of the column too. One was for the rear wiper in the B2, the other was for the rear defrost or the tank selector.
