its easier to pull the button completely off the trim

and to do that just get a flathead and push in on hte tabs and bull the buttons out

Unplug the wiring harness's off the back. Everything on your dash is clips. The dimmer button i left in and put tape around in because i couldnt get that damn button out. Foglight button pops out. THeres just little tabs holding the button in, use a flathead. Look at the piece, and look whats holding it in, then bend some plastic to remove it. Pretty self explanitory. Dimmre switch is a pain so just put tape around the knob
