Question for those that have an AAW Classic Update harness in their TF

I'm wondering how to install the courtesy light switches in the door jambs. Not sure of the best place to do it or the best way to drill the holes. It looks like drilling the holes might be a little tricky.

Advice or advice with photos would be greatly appreciated.

Remove the kick panels and drill a hole above the lower hinge and put the switch in sticking out enough to contact the door. Run the wire up and over the top of the kick panel.

Thanks.
Here are the switches:



It looks like I will need a 3/4" hole. But, it still appears I may need to carefully file notches in the hole for the clip to work.
I don't have a bit that big and I don't want to use a hole saw on these. I guess I'll need to shop for a step drill bit.

Re: Question for those that have an AAW Classic Update harness in their TF

step drill bit is the way to go . check the drilled hole alot to make sure you dont get it too big .
i am running the same switches and once i got the hole just big enough they snapped right in tight . good luck sir
i am a AAW fan - good clear concise directions - was worth the money .
