Default Fuel cap/trunk switch removal

Hi guys, I would like to replace bulb in the above mentioned switch, however by taking a quick view, I did not find an easy way how to remove it. Maybe someone already did that and could save me some time. First idea is to remove fuse cover visible when drivers door is open. I was able to reach the switch from behind (however its not possible to see inside due to door), so maybe there are some clips? I am bit afraid of brittle plastic and dont want to crack it. Another idea is to remove the cover under the steering wheel (which I already did in the past when changing tilt motor) but I dont remember if from that side it will be accessible. Thanks in advance for any hints.

Hi, it helped me to check the whole picture how the button looks like: https://www.autoreservejaguar.com/xk...se-switch.html
Then I was able to locate the two places where to press it (from inside). I think I removed the cover under the steering wheel or that little thing next to that swith.
