2004 RL with Navigation - Center Dash Removal?

How do I go about pulling this thing out? I'm trying to replace some switch bulbs.
Can anyone (who has the 04 layout) tell me if the hazard or fog symbols on the switch are suppose to be illuminated? Thanks.

Hello, I have a 1998 RL, but I'm pretty sure the procedure is the same.
1. Remove Black Plastic Bezel From Around Shifter (Pry Up On It)
2. Remove Wood Trim From Around Shifter (Also Pry Up On It)
3. Remove Wood Trim/Air Vents From Control Area (Make Sure There Are No Screws On The Bottom Part Of The Trim).
4. Use Reason To Discern What You Have To Do Next.

The Fog Lights/Hazard Lights Are Illuminated On My Car, So Why Should A Car 6 Years Newer Not Have Them Illuminated?

Best Of Luck!

Yes, they are supposed to be illuminated.

There are multiple lights in my car that I never though were supposed to be illuminated. Anyone know if most of the button-type (fog, hazard etc) are 74 bulbs as well?

Also, the mirror adjustment panel is not illuminated correct? Only the mirror heater button is I think.

In the 98 models, at least, the fog light/hazard lights/window heater are not #74, I actually tried fitting those LEDs in already! I was bummed that it didn't work, they are much smaller.

I had some spares lying around from the wrecked car that I put in. Just call up Acura and ask what kind of bulb they are.
