    Default Installing a switch

    I am wanting to install a switch for led lighting in the spare spot with the other 4 switches.
    My question is will that spare blank cover come off without removing the entire cluster.

    Thanks all,

    Yes you can pry it up and pop it out.
    But to get the wiring and what not run it is helpful to remove the glove box. It's not that hard to do.

    Thanks my friend. I've had it off before I just don't want to do it.

    Not so much drilling a hole as enlarging the small round hole that's there to a rectangle the correct size to allow the new switch to "snap" in and stay. I used an xacto type knife and just took my time.
