my dad works for a gm dealer ship and any parts 8 years or older still on the shevles are given away i got new switches, grill and other stuff for my camaro, i want to replace the little pull switch for the headlight, how the hell do you get the old one out? i got the face plate thing off of it but i can't seem to find how it comes apart? anyone ever have to do this befoe? all help would be greatly appreciated

 

I'm assuming you mean just the black **** correct? Not the whole silver rod thing?

I know the 2 pieces come together from GM, but the **** has a little metal clip that holds it onto the metal rod. If the lights are working fine, don't mess with replacing anything but the black ****. From looking at the new piece, you should be able to figure it out. I just depressed the clip with a mini flathead screwdriver, and pulled it right off. doesn't take more than 10 seconds to swap!!!

 

k thanks the one that came with mine is 1 piece so i figured you had to replace the whole thing, and me, like most people, don't want to do any more work then thay have to, thanks for the tip

 

To remove the **** and shaft you have to get a finger on the rear top of the headlight switch and push in on a little button that latches on the end of the shaft. Real hard to get to unless you have the speedometer out. Man, some of those free parts would go for real money on Ebay. Hard to find some of that stuff with the lettering still readablem
