    i iwired my pedal light switch there and all you have to do is reach behind the dash and push it out, then trim the piece to fit the switch.

      for driving lights youll need a fused power wire from the battery thru the firewall to the 12v in spot on your switch. then wire a power wire to the lights after theyre mounted from the 12v out spot on you switch. then ground both lights and the switch. thats it. also, those pieces can be popped out with a small screwdriver or butterknife too.

        or you can jack into your running lights, that way when your running lights are on, so are your driving lights.

          Just wedge the spacer out with a screwdriver, then drill a hole in the spacer and mount the switch in it.

              You can get the spacers out pretty easily by taking the side panel of your dashboard off. Reach under the bottom of the side pannel and there should be a small latch that you need to push on. The bottom part of the panel will then pop out a little bit. Then take a flat screwdriver and run it upward along the seam, wedging the panel off carefully as you go. This will undo the 4-5 other latches that you can't reach by hand. After you take the panel off it's really easy to reach the spacers. There's a latch on the top and bottom of each spacer, so just push in and they will pop right out. This way you won't risk scratching any of your interior.

                if you can find it, the jspec and eurospec's have a switch that goes in there for driving lights, make it look amost oem inside .... if you were into that. i dont know bout the harness or anything, just saw the switch posted on the old proclub board a while back.
