Removing lower left switch panel.

Hey guys, trying to add a light bar switch to the panel below and was curious if there is an easy way to do this so I don’t jack up the panel or my dash. I’ve seen where you can also pull the whole lower panel but don’t know which is easier.

Any advice is much appreciated!

 

I pulled mine out without using a tool I put my thumbs at the bottom corners of the opening and just worked one side to the other back n forth and it came out rather easy I pulled a little on the left then pulled on the right little at a time.

 

Yep, pops right out. Grab a plastic spatula from the kitchen if you don’t have panel tools.

 

I used a plastic spoon and some force, it’ll give!

 

Pulling the whole panel is really easy actually. The top of the plastic panel to the bottom-left of the hood pop latch is just clipped in, you can tug that out. Behind that, the overall panel you're trying to remove is secured by a 10mm bolt. There's a couple of other screws/bolts at the bottom below where the airbag panel is, and then clips at the top. It's been awhile so I may be forgetting a step, but I was able to get it out with no issue to put in my mesojdm panel there just winging it a few months ago.

I do remember though, be a bit gentle with the hood latch and the TPMS button near it when you're removing the panel. The hood latch assembly has a wire like those on bicycle brakes and can be a bit finicky to remove.
