Yes, take out the surrounding shroud, then after that, it just pops out. I actually took mine out a while ago, realized that the guy who who owned the car before me installed indoglo gauges. (who knew?) Found that out a year after I bought the car. Anywho, I actually found my CEL to be completely MIA! That's no good, but yes, it should come on when you turn the key to ON, and hold there for 3 secs then turn off.
