i have a dedicated power wire from my battery for all my switches.

Yes, you have to take most of the center console to get to them, and its a tight fit, but there are only 2 wires back there. I would recommend using T-taps to tap into them. If i remember correctly there is a black wire and a white/black wire. Toyota for whatever reason switches their positives and negatives, so the black wire will be positive and the white/black wire will be negative.
