Want to remove the headlight switch? Here’s how to disassemble the switch along with its covering pieces. Remove the plastic trim from the instrument panel: there are securing screws, disassemble the trim pieces under the steering wheel, and detach it from the dashboard.

After removing the screws, pull the piece out from the dashboard, unscrew the securing screws of the switch, and disconnect the power cable. Install a new piece or reassemble the same one after having it repaired.

Test the switch functionality by turning on the lights.
