Default Where to put 2 or 3 extra buttons?

We have a Dodge Ram 1500 CC Laramie!

Does anyone have any idea where to put 2 or 3 small extra buttons, without making it look bad?

Tips, ideas?

Are there not a couple of switch blanks down by the seat heat/cool switches? Or possibly on the other switch row by the radio?

If you didn't have the heated seats and stuff there would be tons of room cuz when there are no switches there, that RAM sign can be removed with 2 screws. might be good place to mount an equalizer or something, or some small switches.

dont know if you need to see em or not. but personally i think the best spot is next to the seat switches on the driver seat. its out of the way, doesnt mess up your dash in any way, and will blend in with the factory switches. most people wont even notice they are there.....

Doesn anyone know if it's easy to take out the "empty" buttons next to the seat heater etc buttons?

Is it possible to replace them with original switches?
Edit: Is it possible to even get any kind of original switches to put there?

i thought about seeing if they could order some buttons that dont have the heated seat symbol on them and just popping them in. dont know if you can get any blanks from dodge or not. it would be nice for adding fog lights behind the grill or something like that

The space on the console next to the cup holders works nice. I put LED's im my cup holders and have a 3/4 X 3/4" rocker there. Looks factory
