How do I open this?

It's the driver side window switch for a 2000 four door. I can not for the life of me get it open without breaking it.

Here's what I'm working with:

There are two little tabs on each side that look like you can just press them and pry apart, but no, they're solid and don't move in any direction.

Reason: I have some new drop-in LEDs for the switch but obviously it needs to be apart first.

You've got the right idea.. little screw drivers and picks.. push the tabs and try to pry out on the half then snap into, too. Tricky business, just be careful an don't get frustrated

Got it, thanks! Would you by any chance know where to go from here? It's open but I don't see any more tabs or anything I can pry on or unscrew.

Here's where I'm at:

EDIT: I think I got it, currently turning those little metal contacts and working my way up to the switches.

EDIT 2: Finally got it, on to testing!

yes, you did get it! you now have access to everything you need to troubleshoot it.

I thought I had pics of this in my "window switch" how to... maybe i didn't post them...
