How to remove switch blank from my 2016 TRD Sport?

I did some searching but couldn't find a good answer. How do you remove the switch blank on the left side of the dash, the one near the rear power outlet switch? I've heard to just pry it out but I don't want to damage anything. Trying to install a switch to control my CaliRaised LED light bar.

If this has been covered before please direct me to the thread. Thanks

I simply used the search function in here and put in
"How to remove a blank switch"
And sifted down a few items.

 

That's a 2015. It looks different. Could be the same process, but I don't want to take apart the dash if not needed.

This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M-U98ABv3s says it just pry it out... but doesn't show it. I tried lightly but it didn't come out.

 

Its going to take some force. Use a dremel cut off wheel after taping off the perimeter and go along the outline of the blank.

 

Blank Removed - Just needed to be a man and put some force on it with a screwdriver, popped right out.

 

Like I said it was going to take some force princess push.

 

all i did was put duck tape on the blank switch plate and pulled it off

 

Figures YOU would use "DUCK" tape.... Daffy...!!

 

Oddly enough, I was looking for the same thing a couple of nights ago. I've got a 2016 TRD Sport too. I couldn't find anything specific searching in the 30 seconds of patience that I had. I reached up from underneath the dash and pushed on it and it just popped right out. There are tabs on the top and bottom of the blank that look like you're supposed to squeeze, but I did no squeezing....

 

What about the blank in the center console? How does that come out? Same way?

 

I have the same question.
