how to remove this panel and what is it called

[donec]

The switch for the driving lights that the previous owner installed came loose and fell inside. I was able to reach inside and feed the switch back into the hole but the nut that holds it does not fit well and I want to fix it so it does not come loose until I want it to. To do this I need to remove the panel and I don't even know what the panel is called or how to remove it. Any help would be appreciated.

The best way to access that area to get the switch back in place, is to remove the instrument cluster which pops right out. There is two small tabs on the top of the cluster which you can push in with a small screw driver to pop in out. It is easier to do this by rmoving the windshield and the cover which holds the safety instruction card. You should be able to reach the switch from the opening where the instrument cluster was removed. I hope this helps.
