Headlight switch stuck

[haflidij]

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.

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.

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 Thank you for that springy video.

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.

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.

The switch must always be in this position while pushing.
