A/C control removal need help

I'm new to the Benz game and I want to take out my a/c controls in order to get to the warning flasher/hazzard light switch so I can get the bulb out of it...so annoying. I don't wanna go and start prying on panels and break clips and stuff, so if anyone could give me some instructions/advice on how to safely and properly remove the a/c control panel (around the a/c unit and other buttons) that would be great.

BTW i have an 01 CLK 55 AMG w/ the wood (if that makes a difference)

Thanks

You need the two little keys that slide into the slots in the buttons. After you slide the keys in, the control pulls out. You then pull really hard at the lower edge of the opening to remove the wood panel.

Exactly the same, except the control is only an inch or two thick.
