Seem to think you had to turn the switch one way and pull or something like that,I know its not much help but ts all i can offer...

Not easier to take it from the back of the radio? Should be ignition and permanent supply there......

You might like to think about an in-line fuse from Maplin or somewhere as well.... just incase you hadnt thought about that.

Once Torx screws are removed turn the light switch to the "0" position, push the switch inwards and turn to the right to the right to release locking catches,you can then pull the switch out,disconnect the switch wiring and your in. HTH Steve

If you put your hand through the fuse box opening you can push out the trim panel that surrounds the light switch,Once this is removed you should see another torx screw,remove this and lower dash panel screws and hey presto! Hope that works for you Steve
