Default door button bezel replacement

need some help...

I want to replace the brushed aluminum door button bezels with CF bezels, but I'm not sure what is involved in pulling them out... does it involve removing the entire door trim panel, or will they pop out from the outside?? I've heard the door trip removal can be tricky due to clips are easily broken and can be hard to locate replacements...

did a search of the forum with no result...

They come out with slight prying with a small screw driver, then unplug the wiring, then gently pry button out of bezel, pop button in new cf bezel, hook up connector pop back in....about 1-4 minutes depending on your competence.

I know these pics are for a different part of the door, but it shows how easy it is to pry these parts out.
