But then behind it is the actual switch housing with on the left side in the back the mini light bulb visible. To replace it you have to access the rear part of the housing though.
And even if there is a part which gives a good grip for a pair of plyers to try to pull the damn thing out, it won't budge at all.... So seems access via the rear is the only option.
I'm sorry (and surprised) that my suggestions didn't work for you - it works on mine! Prehaps my switch is a looser fit in the dash than yours.

You can probably very carefully pop the switch forwards out of its aperture in the panel using a small screwdriver, or better still a pair of paperclips bent into hooks. If it won't come out this way (and it woudl be surprising if it didn't), then pull the radio out so that you can stick your hand in the radio slot and push the switch out from behind. It shouldn't be necessary to disconnect the radio unless you aftermarket unit has resulted in the harness becoming shortened.
I aggree that would work. When I took mine out I found it easy enough to push them out accidentally never mind taking them out. Saying that now I have a little dim spot lift in the dash in the dark 99% sure it's a radio cable in the way. Mine has loads of them No Guts, No Glory.
