A Guide to removing your centre console to replace lights or paint it.
slide a small screw driver down behind the vent and lever them down till they pop and you can access the screws behind.
like so.... next remove the two screws (might be a good idea to close the vent thingy at the back to avoid loosing your screws)
once you've done this the top clock and temp display should just lift off.
next you should remove the all the heater dials, most of them should just pull off apart from the middle one where you will have to insert a small screw driver in to a small hole on the underside and wiggle it about until the dial comes loose.
the sliding bar at the bottom simply prises off gently with a screw driver as does the hazzard light switch.
once you have removed all these it should look like this
the final thing you must do before you can remove it is unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom.
Once this is done you should be able to pull the front pannel off. leaving you to either replace your bulbs or paint it etc.
once done the only thing left to do is replace everything in the opposite order.

Re: How to remove centre console.
I have to remove the centre console because the bulbs are broken, but I have air conditioning. To switch it on, I have to pull the left button, such as the centre button for the rear heating. It lights up when pulled out to. Unlike the centre button, there is no small hole to use a screw driver. Can I remove that button by using brutal force the same way as I would do for the right dial?
