What is the best way to cut the dash for a rocker switch install? Dremel tool or drill small hole and try a small blade?

Take your time. I used a high speed air tool with a small cutting bit. Attachments RzR 010.jpg 266.1 KB Views: 1,340

Will try this weekend, 3 switches to install, a - arm guards, lighted whip, and lift kit going in. Ah this is as much fun as modifying my truck, but a whole lot less expensive!
