Question Anyone Change Location of Dash Switches?

I have an 06 Corolla S. I'm looking at the switches on the lower left side of the dash. It looks like the Tire Pressure switch is the same size as the switch (don't remember what on it is) that is on the far left side of this array.

I want to switch locations of these two switches. I can't see the Tire Pressure switch/light due to steering wheel and location on dash - worried about this as I run 18" 40 series tires.

Can I simply pry the cover plate off with a small screwdriver, then move the switches around (with battery disconnected, of course)? Or, is there a trick to getting off the trim plate? I figure someone out there knows what I trying to do and is somewhat familiar with this

Thanks!

it should be possible to switch them around, but i don't think it's necessary, the tire pressure warning light is not on the switch, it's on the gauge cluster, the button/switch thing is just to reset the light.

Thanks! That makes sense. I always thought the tire thingy on the switch itself lit up.

nope, though there may be another light near the tire pressure button that you are seeing. on my rolla there's a red light that blinks when the car is off, it's for the security system or something or other.
