Default Installing switches

Over the past weekend... I installed multiple pairs of fog/off-road light and have everything needed to finish the job.. I don't want it lookin likea redneck truck on the inside.... and I seem to be unable to pull apart the dash board... I can see the seperate parts... and no screw holes... or anything.. and i don't wanna just pull to it breaks... anyone have any idea where i can find out or have done this themselves?
More useful information.... It is a 07 Ram SLT Quad Cab...

If you're putting them in the panel that the radio and climate controls are in, there are two screws inside the cup holder door. They're phillips and the head faces down. They're on either side of the inside, and you'll need a short screwdriver to get to them. After that, the whole center of the dash pops off (with some effort) just by pulling. I usually pull from the top, but I think you can get a grip using the two cubby pockets and pull it off. It won't break, it just takes a little muscle.

If you are putting it in where the light functions are, you can look under near the pedals and just find a clear spot and drill. This is what I did with my air horn switch. Right in front of the guages on either side of the steering wheel is a small flat area. Nothing behind it, just drilled the hole, dropped the switch and PRESTO, looks good too.
