Old thread, I know, but I need to know how to get the first piece of dash trim off, (2010 3dr) without breaking something! I tried searching but didn't find anything of any use. Even the better half said last night, "You gotta do something about that BLUE LIGHT!" I have black tape on the lens since I had 130 miles on the car, but it is so bright it lights up the trim piece that needs to come off, that I see it in the windshield.

You guys are great, Thanks in advance!

P.S. I loved the red indicator in the '71 Custom 500, even the green arrows were not "blinders". Up until 7 years ago I drove a '71 as a daily car, I like the mpgs of the yaris.

You have to remove the two vertical pieces along sides of the AC controls first. Grab the bottom corner by the storage pockets and pull out to get them started. Then, pull straight out at the top. Next, remove the speedometer trim by pulling it straight back. It is easiest to loosen the center of the top of it first and then work down to the flat area. Be careful of the flat tabs on the radio trim side of the flat area. If you have trouble pulling them out of the radio trim, then you can remove the radio trim with the speedo trim by pulling it straight out as well.
