Trim DIY?

"and remove the accessory plug trim piece (looks like a cigarette lighter plug). You will need to put a thin rag on a flat tip screw driver to get that trim piece off. Unplug the plug. Now, if you look up in there, you will see two 8 mm bolts(silver), remove these, then push the bracket up until the center piece pops out. You will have to push hard, but it will push out"


i'm a bit confused about what "accessory plug trim piece" he is talking about....i removed all three ***** then proceeded to pry around the outside...i got it all loose and started to tug but i stopped cause it was giving alot of resistence. I'm not sure where these 2 bolts are and what bracket i am supposed to push up...... could someone please help me out here i'd love to be able to do this DIY

if you look in the hole (after taking out the panel with the cig lighter), theres two brass hex bolts (i think) that you need to unscrew. Then after that you push the thin bar thats going across... Thin not like a thin bar, but thin like a sheet of metal... use a rag or something so it doesn't hurt your hand. But yea, you have to push hard


*edit*
the acessory trim piece is just that panel with the cig lighter and fog light button space
