You don't have to remove the vent trim but I chose to do it because I have full leather interior and didn't want to use the leather trim as the leverage point to pry the switch out. Removing the vent trim lets you just grab a hold of the light switch and wiggle it out. Also if you notice on the top of the light switch is a lip that hooks under the upper trim. Removing the upper trim will make it easier (at least for me). Either way will work.
