on the left side of the steering wheel there is a dimmer switch. it sits on a panal with the mirror movement button and the vent. I gotta take this thing off. i tired pulling it out and it didnt budge so i was paranoid to break it. is there a trick to it, or do i have to just pull it harder to get it off?

I think there s a couple maybe 1/2 screws behind the panel.
I've been tryin' to take the dang thing off too.
But no-one here is helpin' at all.
I can get the small vent piece out, but the right side of the panel is crewed on the back side i think.
