    ,,,,,at least its not about a sway bar,,,,,

    They all got bezels that hold the switches in,,,you got to remove the knobs and cylinder to get to them,,,,the wiper should have a set screw on the bottom of the knob


    You put the key in and try to turn it LEFT while poking a wire in that little hole to remove the cylinder

    You could wear out your finger pressing hard on the spring button on the back of the headlight switch while jiggling on the knob to pull it out,,,you might have to put some WD40 on the shaft and button to loosen it up.....

    They might not be on too tight,,,,you can try to wiggle the switch while twisting the bezel with your hand to undo them,,,,,or put a piece of tape on the end of a paint scraper or screwdriver and tap the bezels to undo them if you dont want to scratch them,,,,,

    while it is apart, good time to clean up your clear plastic. wet sand and buff, it will be like new.
