how would i go about installing a switch in an open switch spot like below?

Umm very simply. First pry out the plastic cover. Drill a hole, push the switch through then attach the nut that comes with it on the other side. Once you have the switch you will see how simple it is.

 

thanks. i didnt realize there was gonna be a nut on the other side

 

The nut actually goes in front .... the switch goes behind the plate.

 

I'm sorry falkore your totally right, completely slipped my mind.

EDIT: Wait, I never even specified which side, but how did you know I was thinking that? I was literally remembering the switch going through the front, but no toggle switch can install like that.

REDIT: Well I figured it out lol. The switch he pictured actually does have the nut in the back. Or that On/off piece covers it but it looks pretty flush. It could have the nut on the back, if they kept the mechanism in a cylinder and not a box. I have never seen one but it would be possible to make one, may not take many amps though.

 

^^^ You're right, I didn't look at the pic. I was thinking of a standard toggle switch. If I were to do it, I'd get a rocker switch that is made to fit in place of the plastic plate though.
