you need to take out the radio, some pictures in my FAQ here, should be enough to get the idea: http://www.focusklubpolska.pl/showthread.php?t=28544

# Take the radio out (will need 2 pins in each side if standard HU)
# Unscrew 4 screws where the radio was
# Pull (be careful as everything is still connected)
# Dis-connect
# Heater control surround (bit with the red & blue) is screwed in with 5 screws. The knobs pull off but only when in a certain position.

I changed my dash from the standard green to blue LEDs.

Woah there, no need for brute force just a little patience. The connections on the rear of the fasica unclip, be gentle with them.
