Head light switch access

How do I get to the head light switch? Does the dash cowling pull off and access from the back of the cowling or does the switch come out through the front?

I want to access circuit #13 the low beam circuit.

On my 2000 there is a little slot in the middle of the bottom that I slipped a small screwdriver in until I pushed the metal clip enough to pull it out. Not sure if the 2004 has the same thing.

I think Howie has it right -- I had a preassembled guage pod from dieselsite and their instructions for getting to the dimmer wire included pulling the end of the dash straight out far enough to get your hand behind it, then you can squeeze the clip that kips the lighting control insert in place. I did it and without broken clips, and I almost always break something during a mod.
