IMO the stock fog location already makes a good location for switches. Check out my Hella 500 install thread for some good info and pics...
 












2 Options:
Go to Radio shack and get a "hooby Box" or something. It's black and comes in various sizes. Mount your switches in there and run the wires out the back. Get the lighted switches, otherwise you'll forget it's on. How may switches are we talking?
2) I have an 04 Ex and I mounted a switch here:

It's not hard. Just use a stepper drill bit (one of those cone ones) and drill a hole. Not hard at all. The switchbox method is a little tricky.
 












ive got an extension that mounts on my console, and in the space where the coin holders are (the tubes) ive cut them out and got a small stainless steel plate made, you could use balsa wood or something and installed 2 safty cover style switches, thge wiring was a cinch, just run it under the carpet and you there and since its not lighted, no ground for the switch is needed. Overall cost about 10 bucks to make, took me bout 30 min from start to finish.
