+ | The '60s ford headlight switch is retained to the instrument panel with a special bezel nut. | ||
+ | *First pull the headlight switch knob out to the headlight "ON" position. | ||
+ | *Reach up around the instrument panel to the switch opposite where the wire harness connects. There is a release button about the size of a pencil eraser. | ||
+ | *Push it in and wiggle the switch knob in and out to get it to release. | ||
+ | *Then pull the knob shaft all the way out. | ||
+ | *The retaining nut has either 2 or 4 recesses like a Philips screw. Usually a flat blade screw driver the right width will work to unscrew the nut. | ||
+ | *Unclip the harness and install your new switch with the special bezel nut. | ||
+ | *When you reinstall the knob shaft YOU MUST PUSH IN THE RELEASE BUTTON. If you just jam it in, you will break the ceramic dash light dimmer pieces. | ||
