To Dremel. Or NOT... ?

If anyone notices. There is one missing switch in the Mini Cooper (Some). The Rear Fog light switch. Is there anything electrical under that portion where the switch is Supposed to be? Thinking about moving my bass **** OR little whistle button there. If there is at least 3 CM of space behind "it". "it" will be possible. Please let me know before so (later today)

EDIT: Right now is 12:28AM

There is an electrical panel behind it. not sure how close. But I think that you can go through that part too. Take it apart when it is out of the car. It's pretty easy to do.

Pull toggle switch bank (remove downtubes, unscrew)
Disassemble switch bank (just snaps apart, top and bottom)
Drill (better than dremel) hole in blank spot
Then comes the tricky part - access through/around the PCB

There's a thread around here somewhere that demonstrates someone installing their Aux-in port in the empty toggle spot.

Thanks people. I took "it" out yesterday, but I didn't have a dremel on me so I'll be doing the work as soon as I get one
