2010 Tacoma 4x4 crew cab...

Led third brake light All bulbs changed to LED Blue... Bed cover Extra tie downs in bed Borla 3' aftermarket excuast Blacked out front grill Smoked front lights White turn/running lights Bed security Mod 2 inch front lift and level with bilstein front and rear shocks... 1 Inch wheel spacers BF Goodrich AT tires 270/75/17

Finally ran out of blank switch locations I have a 2010 Tacoma TRD Sport and have 3 additional switches to install I don't need the larger switches with words maybe just LED rocker switches. Should I just drill out hole locations in the dash, or is there any other options like the sunglasses holder location? I also was wondering if anyone installed a switch in the rear of the bed near tailgate to operate bed lighting?

I used a pin switch in the bed, so the bed lights would come on when the tailgate was opened.
