Default JK window switchs 2007 Jk

I am new to the forum, but i looking for help with a bad operating window control switch on the dash. I have never tried to enter the dash to change anything out. I m unsure about where the access points are to remove dash panel parts.
If anyone has attempted this i would like hear from you. Oh the light is out on the passenger side; drive side does work but auto mode is broken.

the lights in the window controls are not replaceable. you will have to replace the switch unit as a whole. you get the switches out by using a screw driver or similar to pry it out. careful not to dent/scratch ur dash. once out, unplug and remove. if you want to take the dash out, this is the fist step. there is a screw behind there that must be removed. then there is another one under the glasses tray on top of the dash. the plastic piece under the steering wheel can be removed by pulling. start at the top on each side is easiest. behind there are 2 more screws. that's 4 total and from there just pull it off. yep, done it quite a few times.

The driver side switch is sticking in the auto on position. I need to know where do you insert the screw driver to pry out a panel or what? I"pretty certain the switch levers are part of the front panel that they are mounted into!! does the panel on the top of dash under windshield pry off? I was hopeing that someone might have pictures.

anywhere around the switch panel should good to start prying. and yes now I remember, on the 07 the top screw is under that panel above the radio. that piece prys off as well. start at the windshield side and pry towards the rear of the jeep.
