Default How do I remove these buttons?

Doing the radio swap and can't figure out how to remove the traction control hazard and airbag off indicator

Thanks!

Also how do I remove the 12v cig lighter?

I just changed my radio to an aftermarket radio and the traction control/hazard has tabs on top and I think bottom too that you have to push down on and out. You also have to do the same process with the cig lighter to switch them over

Squeeze the tabs on the ends. Its a pain, but it will come out.

I don't remember having a lot of trouble with the hazards, but that 12v outlet was a pain. I squeezed the tabs like crazy and it wouldn't budge. I ended up just pushing it out. Nearly left a hole in my hand and I was glad I didn't damage the original bezel at all.

FWIW I also had trouble with those 3 buttons, and as previously stated, there are tabs on the side, then you push from behind the buttons outward.

I ended up removing the face panel and getting some needlenose pliers for the proper leverage to push in the tabs. Took effort, but they came out.

Hoping this helps someone else who had trouble.
