Question related to changing gear shifter bulb [solved]

I am trying to replace the bulb on center console for gear shifter as the bulb does not light at all. Have just managed to remove the chrome plate around the shifter but not sure how to remove the wooden trim after this. Please advise, have attached the picture.

That's just clipped in, gently pry. Get some plastic trim tools if you want to be extra careful

Thanks. I tried without a trim and it was too tight, was afraid it might break. Let me try with a trim removal tool.

Go at it in between the chrome on the shifter and the "wood"

Thank you guys. It was pretty easy and straight forward with right set of tools. I didn't need to take anything else in the center console off, just removing the chrome part and then the wooden looking part was enough. I was able to twist the bulb holder to change the bulb and putting it back in with a tweezer and the entire job took only 10 minutes.
