Default Rocker switch advice

I have a 96 Cherokee that i have started to do a few things to. I put some KC lights on my rack and getting ready to wire them up. Looking for some suggestions on a nice place to mount the switches that will look good but do minimal damage. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

So there are a few versions of these if you have the newer center console(not sure what year that started)

here is one for older style:

Now assuming you don't want to pay/fabricate something Like that ( would be kind of dumb if you only have the one switch (no lockers etc), In my older XJ (93) there is plenty of space where the factory clock would be OR where my fog light switches would be. In the 99, there are blanks from the factory in several locations. It is simple to cut a hole using a dremel/drill and there are a ton of switches out there there will cover the hole.

My KC lights came with a pretty dumb switch that you could only really mount under the dash- the one wire is only for illumination of the switch really any switch will do, just find one that lights up if you want it to or cut the wire (believe mine was white) if you dont.

Yeah prime 4x4 has a bunch of switch panels, check them out I have the 3 rocker panel for my ash tray of my 98 and I love it, you can choose what color covers you want on the rocker switches too
