Ok the search didn't work with me tonight. I have a 85 C10 with the headlight dimmer switch mounted on the column. My question is, is there any easy way of replacing that switch short of dropping the column down or taking it out completely? I looked and it seems that I wouldn't be able to fit a wrench in there, mabye I'm wrong though. I'm slowly working on the mess that the PO made with the wiring and such.

Actually, replacing the dimmer in the column isn't all that bad.. you need to drop the column, but not take it out. Take the cover off, then you'll see the switch. R&R and button it all back up.
