I just ordered 2 rugged ridge led rocker switches for my rigids. i need to know the best way to cut a hole for them in my center console. they are the rectangle switches too.

Be patient with it. I installed 2 ARB switches in my console. Measure it as many times as you need to make sure it's laid out right, then drill a small hole NEAR each corner, but away from them. If you have a dremel, that will save a lot of time. Cut the hole small, then use a square file to finish the fit. Just keep trying the switch and adjusting the hole until it fits just right.

If you don't have a dremel, you can also take a small drill bit and slowly work your way around drilling small holes next to each other. Then smooth with a file. If it is a little rough the rocker switch will usually cover it.

I had to do mine this way when my last cut-off wheel broke.
