Default 58 Corvette - Courtesy Light Switch

Hello to all. Can someone please provide me information (or even better a picture) of the exact location of the courtesy light switches where the doors close on the switch. I want to be certain I place these in their proper location!

Thank you all kindly!!!!

On a '61 - be sure to use only one gasket under the switch of the OEM thickness.

Drill a small hole and dremel out to the right dimensions.
That's how I did the holes to add my power windows onduits.
That is a right angle attachment on my dremel - very convenient for such jobs...
