I need some help

on a 1978 F-150 4wd. i'm trying to remove the dashtrim to replace the speedometer cable but I cannot remove the **** for the headlight switch or the wipers. Anyone know how to remove them? The book says something about a little button you push in but I don't see on on either ****.... Any ideas??

The little button is behind the dash, on the top or bottom of the headlight switch. Pull the fuse for the headlights, reach up behind the dash, find the button, push down, pull out the headlight ****. Not sure if the wiper switch is the same or not.
