Damn , Ok atleast i know it now. Im just debating on if its worth it or not , I was going to put my new r20 bumper on and swap out the original switch for the new one i bought. The new one supports front fogs as the org. doesnt. Im going to be selling the car soon so im unsure if i should do it and just leave the front fogs in there but they wont be wired.alexperkins wrote:You have to remove the bit you turn, then prise the rest apart with a screwdriver which will allow you to get to the catches and release them. Easiest to lever it out with a screwdriver
Itll be destroyed.

Re: Headlight switch stuck
So basically the springs that push in/out the hinges that lock the switch are jammed or something like that. I just need to destroy it to get it out, haha

Re: Headlight switch stuck
Try again before destroying it.
Move the switch at the same time you push from behind, you may be lucky and the tabs are released.

Re: Headlight switch stuck
Yeah i might try a cupple of times before doing so. I just try it everyday and see if i get lucky. When i press hard on it from behind it feels like the whole panel is just about to come off its that stuck in there.ciclo wrote:Try again before destroying it.

Re: Headlight switch stuck
The switch must always be in this position while pushing.
