It really depends on the kind of switch you are using. Generally, with a flipping switch, you just flick it off, then flick it on. If you have a push button switch, it still depends on what kind you have. Some require you to push once (to turn off), push again (to turn on). Some require you to push and hold (off), then release (on).
So it really depends.

Whatever is convenient for you. I just have mine sitting next to my shifter. You may also want to consider putting it somewhere you can easily access it, yet at the same time, NOT accidentally activate it.

I removed both driver and passenger side mirrors. In its place, i used a big 4" blind spot mirror mounted on the inside of my driver side door. For rear visability, i used a Convexed wide-angle mirror

To cover the holes, i just wedged a piece of coroplast in the opening left by the mirror removal.
Yes, yes yes, removing your side mirrors is illegal in some states. I've been driving mirrorless for over a year and i live next to the police department, so I drive by cops EVERYDAY, they never even notice my missing mirrors. If anything, they notice my wheel skirts more.
And when they do notice my skirts, they point and laugh.
