light switch removal
Hi 
,
The headlight switch comes out just like gary said. To remove the bezels however, you have to use a special tool. (You could probably just use a screwdriver, but will most likely chew up your bezels). I made one of these out of tubing. Almost like a screwdriver with a hole in the center. First you have to remove the ****. Stick the tubing over the switch's shaft, with the two "ears" in the slots of the bezel's threaded center piece. Then you just unscrew it. Ford actually had a tool just for this purpose (Tool-17470N).
Hope this helps.
