As preparation for a few other projects I needed to remove the light switch unit, this is how things went:
First of all you need to remove the small trim panel. I used a few plastic cards in lack of a better tool:
I had to apply some force which felt uncomfortable, but off it came - and without too many scratches. Frontside:
Backside:
Note where the pins are located. This is a good indicator of where to apply pressure/leverage:
After removing the trim panel, it's a simple two-screw job:
The plug on top comes of easy using the lever mechanism on the plug. Here's the box:

It's one of the 2 places that keeps all the car's infomration including the car's mileage. Every time you turn on the ignition the car runs a test to make sure all the electrical parts are working properly and it's the light control unti's job. That's why sometimes if you change the light control unit without proper programming, or if you change out certain electrical parts on the car (for example, xenon headlight retrofit), the "mileage tempering light" shows up on the strument cluster because it thinks someone's trying to switch out the control unit from a different car and fraudfully tempering with the car's mileage.
