Head light knob removal?

I'm try to remove my instrument gauge panel, and for the life of me, I can't remove the little black knob for the Head light switch! The Windshield wiper knob came off easy, but it feels like I'm going the break something try to pull off the Headlight switch knob! Is there something I am missing?

Re: Head light knob removal?

Reach up under the dash and feel for a spring loaded plunger..push that downward with the headlight position in the on position and it will pull out while holding that plunger downward.

You really gotta curve your wrist some...but thats how its done.

Don't forget to disconnect the battery (or the switch), because the switch will be ON when the rod comes out.
