You will need a 3/4" spade bit to drill the hole....might have to carve it out a bit more to get the switch in.....this part took me the longest to line up the switch with the yo speed plate.
You can choose whether you want 1 or 2 switches. Wiring is still the same.
Tips for the switch
The center pole is the switch....the
positive from the
LED strip solders there.
The copper colored pole is for the ground. (splice
ground from cigarette lighter and
ground from LED strip and
attach/solder here)
The silver pole at the opposite end is for power. (splice
positive from cigarette lighter and attach/solder here)
You should pre solder or attach leads (wires) to your switch before you start.
Hope this helps...at least a little.....feel free to PM if you have any questions.
