Parking brake console switches

[Grip72]

Ok there are 4 rectangular spaces beside my parking brake handle in my 91 Accord LX 2 door 5 speed. I would like to move my switches from my neon lights to these spots so it looks cool and is easier to access. The 4 spots just pop out a little plastic piece. (if you drive a car similar to mine you will see what i mean)
How do i get my switch into that plastic piece? It is problematic because there is so much tough plastic and it's hard to cut..THanks alot

i would use a soldering gun with a very thin tip. that should do it. the problem is that the interior of those buttons are so weird, and small that you could not fit any switches there. i tried putting one for my foglights

oh..then what the heck is the spots for? ARGH!! It would be like the batmobile if i had switches there!! chicks dig that! lol

i saw few of them having the window switches in the center console and not on the door like most of them are. if you ask me i find the switches there very annoying. they should be on the door.

Well i don't have powerlocks or windows or anything so i want my switches there.

I successfully placed my foglight switch in there. What you'll need to do is take a drill with a small bit and just ream it out. What I found helpful was to take regular scotch tape and mark where the holes should be, then drill four corner holes at the intersections. After that, just follow the tape up and drill a buttload of holes in a straight line over each side.

Once you've done that, you'll have to use the drill (or an exacto knife, but be careful) to cut out the plastic under it. You'll probably need something to help you push the switch in once it's done, I used a large pair of channel-lock pliers to grab the bottom of the plastic piece from the accord (that you just cut) and the top of the switch to press the switch into the casing. That should do it.
