Re: How do I remove headlight switch
Reach under dash and fill switch you will find a button that pushes in. While pushing button pull on the switch knob and wiggle it while pulling. The knob will come out with stem. Then you just unscrew the trim ring from switch and push out of dash and unplug. You may have to try several times to get knob and stem to release they stick sometimes.

Also, unhook the battery before you start.
Here is a picture Keith has that shows the button to push to release the knob.

If it Looks good and Works good then it's ok by me. Everything has its issues from time to time...

Re: How do I remove headlight switch
Are the ignition, wipers control and ignition taken out the same way?

Nope, light switch is the only one. The others have screw out things on the front side of the dash.67_F100_390 wrote:Are the ignition, wipers control and ignition taken out the same way?

you have to remove the wiper knob with a allen wrench first before you remove the three tabbed ring from the front of that switch.
