Help, how do you pop out the hazard and defrost buttons from the housing?
They have a beveled plastic clip on one side like youd usually push so it would come through the front but there is only one, not two.. what do i do??

Ps. does the Hazard have a light in it for at night, like the others do?

OK, first you need to push the side without the clip through. Grab the thing and pull side ways toward the tab side and get the backside through. Then use a flat head to compress the tab while holding the backside through the slot.

2nd ? - yes a red condom LED light

ever since i bought my car ive had like no lights on my auto climate control and hazard etc.. can you buy these at the dealer? not the whole unit just the light part? im going to convert most to LED's but i want to replace some with stocks.

Now im trying to figure out how to get that snorkel tube off the auto climate control so i can take it apart. Can you get it off without cutting it?

As far as the hazard light, you can replace it with a LED if you solder it right, with a resistor, and make it fit inside the switch so that it can assemble back correctly.

dude when i tried to do the hazard led switch, u guys know the white plastic piece that allows the button to stay in place when pushed or whtever? well i somehow messed that up and know the switch won't work right, i would have to hold down the button so i just got a new one.
