not an easy task. These switches are made the way they are. There is a pcb behind them and very little room. It can be done but not easy.

I've added an SPST switch with a seperate LED to driver side windshield moulding over the weekend, and made leads with male connectors that will accept the .250" female spade connectors on the KC harness. I just now received the Smittybilt windshield brackets for my lights, and will complete the installation with a writeup over the weekend.

people have installed switches there, but it requires you to cut the circuilt board up behind the switch panel, and you have to make sure you don't cut any of the important traces.
