removing headlight knob
I am sure there is a special tool for this that I will need to pick up but I have removed two now and both were destroyed to take them off the truck.
what are the tricks? do some just from being that old just NOT come off? ![]() |

Re: removing headlight knob
no tool you have to reach up to the switch housing and press the release button while pulling it out.I learned the hard way

Re: removing headlight knob
just reach up in behind the dash, there is a small spring loaded button on top of the switch, push it in and pull out the headlight switch.

Re: removing headlight knob
That's exactly right... Just know that sometimes it will still put up a fight (at least mine does. You just have to get the right combination of pressing and pulling and it will eventually slide out.

Re: removing headlight knob
Disconnect the battery.I mean you do want the truck to start when you finish.

Re: removing headlight knob
HA. I just pulled and twisted the S.O.B. till it came off. The very next day, I learned how to do it right. Oh well. It needed a new one anyways.
