I've done this but only for my anti slag at the moment. Used one of the blanked off holes where the heated seat switch goes by the hand brake. Will fit my LC switch next to it when I get around to it.

Worth having? Or the switch worth having? Tbh most standard lC systems are activated when first gear is engaged so switch not needed it that case. I'd rather have it on a switch personally.

they only require and 8mm hole to be drilled and push through from the back and are bolted in so you can put them anywhere you like.
behind the dccd wheel or anywhere on the centre part with the cupholders in is ideal as there is plenty of room underneath for wiring.

It's tempting to get a couple just to brighten up the switch blanks

Demon tweaks do them but they are quite expensive from there.
