Here's the link to my write-up for the ORE switch panel Eddie posted.

The thing I really like about having these switches under the radio, is that they are easy to reach when you use driving lights, I keep my elbow on the center console and just move my hand from the shifter to the panel, no need to reach the top of the windshield. :rock: The install is very straight forward, and the guy (sorry forgot his name) gives a very good service.

looks like they just cut a hole big enough so that the rocker can fit in like it would on a daystar switch panel.

ya but wouldnt it just fall out?
If you pull off the side panel of your dash, you will see that there's a lot of room right there. All you need to do is cut what you need and pop in the switches.

nope just cut it small enough so its nice and snug. also a lot of the main switch housing have clamps almost on the ends that will hold them.
also like eddie just said there is a lot of room back there for them to fit.

^ you could cut the hole big enough to mount a switch plate like this. waytekwire has the mounting plate brackets- you order 2 ends pieces, and as many middle pieces to create a panel for anywhere from 1 to 100 switches.
Trace an outline of the switch you want to use. Place painters tape where you want the switches to go. Trace on the painters tape your outline. Using a untility knife make several passes on the lines while applying light to moderate pressure until you have the cut out. Another option is to use a Dremmel with a cutting bit. An example would be one used in a ROTOZIP.
Here are some pics that might help.

You should have a brass prong which is the ground, I ran mine to the fatory ground. There should be two silver prongs. The middle goes out to your accessory. The outer prong is for 12v constant. When I wired all my switches I ran the ground and 12v constant in series. By doing this it reduces the number of wires you have to run.

Are you not using a relay? Yes switch pins are top- ground (pin 7), middle- power in, bottom- switch out (relay input or connect to positive on accessory)
His switches are different than yours Will.
