You need to take off the trim piece that goes across the entire dash. There are spring clips on the passanger side and a few screws around the IP panel you need to take out. the dimmer switch & hazzard switch both have clips on the back that need to be lifted before it will push thru (or just disconnect the electrical connector. the ac vents will stay attached to the trim piece. don't pull it too far forward theres not much play in the wiring harness.
