If the headlight switch is not functioning properly, it needs to be replaced. After obtaining the original spare part, locate the faulty component under the air vent.

To remove the adjustment unit, grasp it and carefully pull it out of the dashboard to avoid damaging the connected wires. Once removed, proceed with the replacement by disconnecting the wires using the terminals and, without making mistakes, reconnect them to the new component.

Reassemble everything carefully.
