Check out Joshker's HUD retrofit page since it illustrates how to remove the dash pad to get to the hazard switch.

When I first got my C5 the hazard switch went out. Not covered under warranty. I knew nothing at that point about removing dash so I had the dealer do it. Cost me about $275.00.
Move ahead a couple of years and I'm doing the HUD retro-fit and gauge bezels following instructions from Josh. Easy as pie.....wish I had the instructions then. Just take your time and its a no brainer and I'm probably a 6 on a scale of 1 - 10 in terms of auto DIY.
Wish I had the instructions then.....I could use that $275.00 to tuck back for my GHL's....

I do know that the dash has to come out to get to it.
What would the dealer charge for this job?

I had my instrument cluster out last weekend and I noticed it was fairly accessable from the right side of the opening, but I don't know if you can get it out from there. If you can, that would be the way to go.
Others chime in here...
