The dash light behind my foglight switches has gone

When I drop the under-dash panel I can see up into the area with the main light switch. The foglight switch unit just pushes out, with the two switches mounted on it. then i can see the dash light holder. I can get my angled needlenose pliers onto it, but it won't budge.

Any tips?

I can see two little nuts to take off, and push that whole panel out, but I've got such banana fingers I'd never get them back on. Hope it's not that.
