it's not too hard. just a pain. lay on your back, upside down in the car - feet on the headrest and head on the floorboard. reach up, remove the electrical connectors, then with a teeny-tiny screwdriver blindly remove a couple of screws. wiggle the switch out, replace it and try to tighten the screws without being able to see anything...
pedro has a pretty good write-up. took me about 20 minutes to do mine. best tip - get yourself a really small screwdriver with hardly any handle to it. something that could remove the screws from a pair of eyeglasses but with a handle of no more than an inch, maybe a half-inch.

If you take out the headlamp switch and that vent, you can do it all through that hole and by reaching underneath, without having to get on your back and stick your head up there. Check this thread for more details:

Holy crap is right, even with all of the tips from the various threads
But it is very doable for a regular person
