    Ok this may be the stupidest post I've ever made but here goes.

    I installed an LED light bar today - stealth behind the lower grill. Install went fine. Wiring the bar to power a snap. Relay mounted, wire through the fire wall fine and then I hit a wall. Intending to wire it to a Mictuning switch in the center dash. My TRD has two spots vacant. How the hell do I access them though? Gave up as it was over 90 in the garage but there has to be a trick to it but try as I might I'm stumped.

    You could remove the blanks with a thin n smooth butter knife...and fish the wire, hopefully not cutting or yanking anything unseen...:rimshot:

    Thanks all. I'm going to try the last idea as the disassembly route is way more than I had in mind.

    Saw the latest too late but all good. Used a dental pick tool to get dummy switch plate out. Fishes a stiff wire through, taped my wires it it and pulled them out the hole. Soldered the Mictuning switch in and snapped it in place. Voila!
