Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

Before replacing any switches, you should always disconnect the negative post on your battery terminal to not short out any wires.

To access the headlight switch for replacement, you're going to press in while it's in the off position. Turn it to the right, and it should come right out. You can access the plug in the back. There will be a little tab on top. Just pull that in. Pull the switch out.

To replace the switch, you grab your harness and plug it back in. The switch can be in the off position to place it back in. Just line it up in your dash where it was initially and just push it back in until you hear it click.
