Dash/switch help

How do I remove the dash on my '89 F250, I need to replace my headlight switch so I can drive at night again. Thanks for the help

You need to start with pulling off the head light and window wiper switch *****. Then pull or pry off the the panel around the switches. This will panel just snaps on to the dash. After doing this you should be able to see about four or so hex screws. You should be able to see a braket that holds the two switches. Just remove the head light switch and replace with new. The hardest part of the job will be removing the connector from the switch. Sometimes the connector will be melted onto the switch. Good luck!

Your welcome, I only know this because I've done it twice now to my truck.
