My recommendation is a fork. Seriously.

It evenly distributes force, basically just slip it under the needle such that the prongs of the fork are around the needle post, and press down, creating a lever action.

I specially lighted up the icons to show how they stack up to OEM. In this case, its 100% like OEM to ease any doubts. In other words, when the icons aren't lit, they wont show up even in direct sun light. In fact, if you get a chance to closely examine the OEM piece, the icons are visible because they aren't blacked out. The Toyota "T" pattern imprinted on the dash acts as a camoflauge hiding the icons.

Here is an unedited driving view in daylight from a customer. It shows an unlit dash and you can't make out the icons which aren't lit.

By the way, if everything goes right I will be expecting an application on a BRZ very soon, with a surprise... especially for those with a tune

And what is this surprise for those with a tune? I hope mine has it 😅
