Oh jeez Rog, that looks more involved than I thought

I'm now thinking if I want to fit my toggle switch in one of the higher positions, I really need to drop the dash to remove the whole PCB.

However, if I remove the two arrowed nuts that secure the telltale light panel.



It looks like it'll move out of the way on its ribbon cable to allow me to safely fit my fog light switch in the central but lower position indicated by the red star above, and shown below.



The contacts on the back of my fog light switch would need to sit under the ribbon cable, but it looks like there's enough slack in the ribbon and room under it to allow for that? To fit the switch, obviously I'll be drilling into the front face of the panel so I'm super keen not to drill into any delicate electronics, I need to make 100% sure anything vulnerable is safely right out of the way to completely remove all risk of expensive damage.

What do you think of the above approach and this lower proposed position for my amber illuminated Durite toggle switch?



EDIT!

However, looking at this angle it now looks like for my Durite toggle switch to clear the upper edge of the telltale ligh panel I'll need to move it up slightly so it sits between the factory heater fan and temp switches, as shown by the red star.



So it would look like this.



Alternatively these two areas look clear of any obstruction.



So I could conceivably fit two switches like this.



One being the fog light switch on the left, and the second used to turn on the footwell lights I'm planning on installing.



I'm now thinking the twin switch idea is the winner
