Default Light switch panel?

Hey guys,

Just wondering im looking for somewhere to install my water inj. low warning light and was thinking of putting a little led on the panel with my light switch.
Question is how do you get the panel off? I dont want to break anything but prying with a screw driver without checking haha

Here is where i mean..



Cheers, Chris

As B2tf said, it just pries out, but you may need to disassemble the switch from the surround as suggested by Woody to get enough room to drill a hole, install an LED etc.

While we're sort of on topic, which one of the series has the light switches that illuminate at night? Im thinking Fairmonts? If so, I reckon I might grab one and wire it so it lights up.
