I've got a set of LED flood lights that I'm going to mount up front on either side of the license plate. I already have the wiring mostly figured out, but I'm trying to decide how to mount the switch without having to drill a 5/8" hole in the dashboard. Are there any stick-on switches that can handle enough amperage for this application? Also preferably one that doesn't have a vampire light on it, because I'll be wiring it all straight to the battery.

you should be running a relay with a fuse on the power wire then you can use the ground to switch it on. They make a bracket for the switch that you can screw to the bottom of the dash

Already have the relay, I bought a premade wiring harness so everything is pretty much set up. I just don't want to drill a big hole in the dash for the switch, and would prefer not to put screws in it either

There's options for mounting a switch other than drilling and mounting to the dash.  Does your truck have the pull out ash tray?  If so, you can mount it in there and it's hidden.  You can drill a small hole in the back of the "pocket" below the AC controls and mount the switch to a small piece of plastic cut to fit in the opening.  You can also remove the 12v power outlet (cigarette lighter outlet) in the dash and mount it there.
