Replacing headlight switch.

Mine is getting wonky and the right park light was on last night and had to go out and play with the switch to turn it off so need a replacement switch. Never been under the dash on this one any surprises I need to be aware of. Learned from experience to never take even something like this that seems simple and straight forward on these cars for granted LOL!
 
Be careful removing the plastic trims on either side of the steering wheel. The rest should be straighforward.
 
It's pretty straightforward to remove and replace the switch. I looked and it doesn't look like there is a HOW-TO on how to do this.

Basically though, after you remove the hood release lever and parking brake lever, and release the dashboard trim piece to the left of and above the steering wheel, it's pretty self explanatory.

Here is the forum's HOW-TO, courtesy of @RicardoD, on how to do this job.
