Remove headlight switch
To remove the headlight switch, you need to remove part of the dash panel as seen below highlighted in red. This panel easily pops off by prying in one corner and working your way around until it pops out. Depending on if you have column shift, you may have to fenangle it past the shifter. You will also see to red circles where you need to remove screws.
Next, you will see another screw, remove that one. 3 total.
You will notice a screw just below the cigarette lighter, you do not need to remove this one.
This screw here, needs to be removed.
Pull the switch all the way out. You will see a little metal tab. Take a small screwdriver, and push the tab towards you as your sitting in the seat.
Unscrew the back ****, counterclockwise.
Now you can pull the upper panel out and away. You don't have to remove it all the way. Just enough to give you some room.
Now remove the 2 screws from the switch and pull the switch out. You will have to pull and turn the switch from left to right until it comes out. Reverse that to put back in.
