it comes out from behind, either have to take out the whole damn dash, or you can try to take out the glove box assemble and get at it with a small screwdriver, or an angled skew bit with a drill
good luck

No way man... you can only get that frickin' thing out by removing the entire dash. I tried several ways on my dash and that vent was not coming out for nothin'. I ended up rippin' it out to see how it was held on and the screws are on the backside.
Also, you can't even do a partial dash removal... I tried!! Everything has to come off.
Search the site for "lalunette" and you will find a post from a forum member that details all the steps.
Finally, what year is your ride 'cause I have the official Mazda shop guide for an 86 B2000 and it has detailled pictures of the procedure.
pm me if you want pics.
Cheers !!

no i havent seen any pics. The only place I like neon if any in my vehicles is in the foot wells or speaker grilles.
My truck will never see a neon light in its life.
