Here's where I mounted my switch. Only one switch but bigger than your round rockers. Do you have the pedal adjusters? If not, should be some decent room right there and then its right next to your factory light controls.

Hit up a junkyard and get the lower trim piece with the sunglass/wallet pocket in it. Remove pocket, install flat plate for switches, mount lower trim back to dash with switches installed. The pocket is near your right knee, but sunk in enough so your knee won't interfere with switches. Makes for a clean install.

Here is a link to a guy who does these for us Lightning guys. Post 5 shows the entire panel installed. http://www.lightningrodder.com/forum...t=switch+panel
