Hey Nest:
Does anyone know how to remove the headlight switch? Also, the knob that goes into the switch. I need to replace mine and I'm not sure how to get the kinob out without breaking it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

SURE No Problem

To release the Knob.....

You HAVE to have access to the switch backside. On the backside there is a spring loaded pin onthe metal side. Depress that pin while pulling out onthe switch knob. The knob AND the triangular shaft will slide out.

Reverse to re-install.

Then you have to spin the nut off. Problem is nobody has the damn socket to fit it. unless you have a buddy with a mill that can make atool- most people just skin their knuckles using a needle nose pliers inthe slots.

I found a decent sized phillips screwdriver will actually take the switch retainer right out. The center pretty much corresponds to that shape.
