1981 Headlight Dimmer Switch Location?

Just replaced my floors and rocker on the driver's side and I forgot to make note of the dimmer switch location. Can someone take a pic or some measurements to help me out?

Thanks in advance
Brian

Still looking. Even a pic that will let me get it close would help.

Also, my carpet had perforations on the back for all of the seat and belt bolts but nothing for the dimmer switch. Obviously no grommet either. Is this normal? The truck is an '81.

My 82 has no grommet in the carpet around the switch either. As far as I know the carpet is original.

I have bought aftermarket carpet in the past that had a grommet in the box. I have a black carpet set and can look if you want. You can have the grommet if one is there.

Sure! I didn't think to look and the box is long gone.

Just checked mine and not one there. I guess they are no longer included, at least in mine anyway. I've had this carpet on the shelf for 4 or 5 years.
