Want to remove the light switch knob? Here's how to take it off from inside the dashboard of a Golf. The knob to be removed is located on the left side of the dashboard; grasp the plastic knob with your hands, rotate it slightly to the right, and pull it away from the dashboard (bringing the knob towards you), then disconnect the power connector.
