ok so my brothers AU headlight switch (next to steering wheel) is broken and dad being dad pretty much demolished it trying to fix it lol.
so my question is how do u replace it? i can get one from the wreckers well im guessing i can but i need the entire unit, i had a quick look last night and it looks as if i have to remove the speedo cluster to get to the wires behind the headlight swithch and pull it out? or is there an easier way? i gotta do this 2night after work so any help would be awesome cheers brad` |

Pull out panel on end of dash and then pop out switch from behind. Wires are very short making it frustrating and all, but thats the best way.
No tools, 5 minute job. Easy

No need to remove the cluster.
If you're careful, you can wedge the unit out from the front, but it's possible you may break the clips that hold the fascia to the unit. There's also a chance of damaging the soft dash material. I would remove the plastic panel at the edge of the dash (only accessible when the door is open and the rubber is pulled out slightly) and from there with a bit of fiddling you can push the headlight switch unit out from the rear. |

can you replace it with an auto off headlight switch from a fairlane/mont and have auto off headlights or is that built into the bem?

disconnect the battery 1st. then remove steering wheel airbag, then steering wheel [be carefull when removing wheel as it can/will come of suddenly. leave nut on a turn or so when 1st trying to remove it]. remove the clock spring [from memory it clips on?] & then you can easily work on the switches [three screws holding it on to column]. the installation is the reverse. |
