remove center console?
How easy is it to remove the center console? Reason why I am asking is I am hoping to get Hella lights and I want to put the switch for it in the space by the cup holders. there is a flat area that would be perfect. I a 05 quad with the front bucket seats. Just wondering what I have in store for me. Also how easy is it to remove the plactic cover on the A Pilar drivers side? For project 2 this winter.

the whole assem, comes out and it is easy, remove everything in the compartment that you rest your elbow on. at the bottom is a plastic cover get a pair of needle nose pliiers and pull up on one of the tabs. there you will see 4 bolts. take them out. at the very frt of the console there is a rubber mat. pull that up and there are two screwss. remove them and it will come out. if you have the heated seats becarefull. simply unplug the connectors. also inside the compartment you may have an extra outlet. you will need to unplug that also. dont worry. there is enough wire to do this

if you remove the console you will notice that the top part can be removed from the bottom part by a few screws, open the compartment door and you will see some screws at top. the rest are underneath the console. i take the whole thing out every now and then and rinse it off in the sink. but our consoles are the same.

I don't see why not, only issue is the 12v power in the center compartment. I'm not sure if you have the plugs or ability to get power to it. If that isn't a issue, I don't see any reason why you couldn't swap it out.
BTW, I didn't put my switch there, I installed it under and to the left of the steering wheel.

I do not have the heated seat switches and I have taken out the 4 screws under the arm rest, the two under the big gulp cup holder, and the one under the eye glass holder. There still seems to be a clip or screw holding the top down somewhere near the big gulp cup holder. Are those some sort of clips and if so how do I open it? All this to replace the accessory charger under the arm rest?
