Aftermarket Manual indicates to just pry this large Dash Center trim panel out of hidden recessed retaining clips to access heater control panel screws to access rear of this control panel to change bulbs. Center trim panel seems very tight and is also around ignition switch, has anyone here pried this off without breaking anything like plastic clips? Where did you begin prying and how wide was the blade? I have a light bulb burned out on the right side of heater controls and cannot see the settings at night. Thanks!
'97 Camry/Avalon Question on Dash Center Trim Panel removal

Have you searched for any dash screws or bolts that might be holding the trim on first? A lot of instructions will say to just pry the dash off since most dashs are only held on by clips, but in reality there are often times several screws that need to come out first. Do a quick scan and see if you can locate any, and then proceed to pull the dash off. You shouldn't need a blade to do it either, you should be able to pull it off by hand. Good luck
