DIY; on how to remove bezel , i've found its way easier to take out the climate control first
for those who don't know what this part on your car is it is called a bezel here is a pic below ...
step) 1 first remove 3 x head screws
BTW the bezel is held to the dboard by these three screws and about 4-6 tricky clips
to get the emergency light out (where the last screw is located) use a flat head or maybe something smoother and just BE-CAREFUL NOT TO MAKE SCRATCHES
step) 3 remove all the clips holding bezel to dashboard
best way to un-attach clips is to go through the climate control sec, ... by pushing the bezel outward as you can see in the following pic. it will pop right out with a tough push
if you dont wanna remove climate then as you can see in the picture where the clips are you want to push them inward and upward then pull bezel out with a dull smooth knife or solid metal approx 3-2 inches long at least because they are hooked to the dash board
now if worst comes to worst and none of the clips are unplugging themselves, don't worry just go slow once you've got one side of the bezel un-attached you can just pull the thing right out and break a few clips the bezel is pretty strong, i suggest just pulling slowly out and refrain from and bending activity and pulling at the bezel out evenly
after you pop the bezel out there will be exactly one wire harness attached to the bezel , remove it and ...
done!
