Default Sunroof switch light blew, How do I get to the bulb?

My sunroof switch light blew and I want to change it. I cant figure out how to get that big plastic switch panel out of the dash though. I tried to pry it out but it doesnt want to move. I looked to see if there was a screw that I could see but I couldnt find one. How do I get it out?

If your talking about the panel to the left, I just pulled it and it came out, but now I lost 3 of the retaining clips and it wont go back in.

Yes that is the one that Im talking about. I tried prying it out with 2 screwdrivers but it doesnt seem to want to come out. I dont want to break anything so are there specific places that I should try to pry from?

I just pulled mine and it came out, but a buddy of mine had trouble with his and had to use a lond screwdriver and helped push it out from the back while someone pulled. Those clips are a PITA
Sorry I cant be more help.

Their just tiny bulbs that you screw in. If I had some lying around I'd give them to you, cause I did the LED conversion with my switchs and a/c controls.

There's just a clip on each side that holds it in. You should be able to just pop it out but if it doesn't come then one or both of the clips are caught on the dash. If you drop the steering wheel you can get your hand back there. Maybe you can get your hand back there anyway? I don't feel like checking right now. Anyway, good luck
