      Putting in a switch on the dash

      Hi guys

      im wanting to put in some driving lights and thought maybe using the factory blank circle bit of plastic opposite to the warning hazard lights.
      Just wondering how I can get this 'blank' of black plastic out ?


      any suggestions ?
      Thanks to all the good advice on here all - it's tops !!!

      I usually stick a butter knife or something that is thin but not sharp in it and pry it loose. They make 'non marring' plastic tools to do this, but I've never bothered to try them out.

      I just so happened to have bought this tool kit a while back and it has done wonders not only with stereo equipment upgrades but removing panels and all sorts of tabs, and clips without breaking them. maybe take a look at getting one..

      I replaced one of the blank circles with USBs. You need to take the little panels off either side of the radio then unscrew the 2 screw at the top to release the panel where the blank circles are in. Take it off and from the back of the panel you can unclip the circles. That was the easiest way I found
