Re: Headlight switch ?

You will have to remove the plastic bit that goes over the instrument cluster and the switch assembly. To do this, remove the 7mm bolts along the top edge which hold it to the dash. Then drop the panel under the steering column, there should be two plastic caps covering torx screws. I'm not sure if just removing the two under the caps will suffice or if you need to remove the three torx on the bottom edge of the panel as well. Also remove the panel that houses the fog light/defrost/trunk release switches by removing two bolts from the underside of it. It has some clips so you will have to pull it off. Then you should be able to remove the bolts from the bottom of the main plastic piece that covers the instrument cluster and the switch assembly. It should be free now so you can remove it. This should expose some screws which hold the switch assembly down. Remove those screws, and the headlight switch and dimmer switch assembly should pull off. You can then use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the tabs out on the switch enough to get it wiggled out. I forget if it's held on by screws to the back or not.
