Talking Auxillary lighting

Hello all, I am going to be installing a couple pairs of KC lights in my '95 just as soon as I can find a good place to mount the toggle switches. Does anyone know if there are panels in the F250 Dash that pop out so I can drill the mounting hole. My wife's Suburban had a really nice panel to the right of the guage cluster that poped out with just a leatherman blade. There are two panels to the right of my guage cluster near where the "water in fuel" light is that I think might work, but I don't know if they pop out, or what's behind them. I'd hate to run a drill bit through something important. I'm looking for a look that's as factory as possible. I don't want to have to put in an auxillary switch panel under/on the dash. Anyone have experience with this ? Thanks in advance for any replies-you guys are the greatest!!

Yes, that is kinda an open spot and can be used like you want to, I just can't remember how to get it off right now.

I have seen guys fab a switch panel to fit the little cubby hole at the bottom of the dash. Leaves a very clean look.

The small panel right next to the wait to start light is a good spot. I have mounted a 2 1/16 gauge there in my 95 so there is plenty of room behind it. Its not real easy to get to the back of it though as the whole black trim piece has to come off.
