if your talking about removing the whole panel, after you unscrew the two screws in the sunglasses holder, you have to pull pretty hard on the other side where the moon roof button is. i was pretty afraid to pull but it has clips so it will come out.

Are you changing the bulbs? If you are, just use the smallest flat head and take off the cover. But you got be very carefully, thats how I changed my bulbs. The rears are alot easier to change.

hey if you need to just change the light then just take the white plastic cover off... do this by using a thin flat head screw driver or what i used was the end of the razor blade and pop it out from the windshield side. then just pull out the bulbs and replace them
