yep, no need to remove the dash. Just pry it out from the front. if it's stubborn, bou can take the lower panel off (under dash) and push it out from behind so you don't scratch up your dash or break the button

$5??? Wait! You PAY for shit like that? I thought the policy was that anything that can fit inside your pocket is FREE.
I got my Civic $300 cheaper cuz the dimmer switch was out causing the parking lights not to work. I popped the switch out and put a jumper in the harness so I could make the 700 mile trip home. The lady was surprised but she wasn't even mad. She said I deserved it.
After your third or fourth Civic you already have this crap in your garage. Dimmer switches, main relays, combination switches, 7.5A fuses, etc etc etc.
