If its the same as the 99-04s,
1. pull the light **** outward (turn them on)
2. Insert a small flat screwdriver in slot at rear of ****. There will be a metal tang, pull it forward.
3. As you are doing #2, pull on the whole ****, it should pop right off.

hahaha, good luck using a screw driver... you cut and pasted didnt you... seriously its a bitch to get that piece off. get like a bent nail or something with a little bit of a hook because you have to pull the little metal piece out towards you.. cant do it with a screwdriver because that will only push it up, not out. get something you can pull it out away from the shaft.

I just used one of those tiny flat head screwdrivers and braced it with a box knife so I wouldn't scratch the dash. It came off in less than 2 secs.

broke it
I'm the patient type, so I tried for 30 minutes without success before I gave up and destroyed the plastic **** (I was installing a billet item anyway).
After removal I saw the spring metal tab everyone's talking about. I believe its not really meant to work, just make you mad.
Actually, all the advice here looks good - I've now got a small, cheap little screwdriver I bent into a hook shape that does the job like magic.
...though I kinda enjoyed wrecking that plastic know. Catharctic.
