2006 f250 headlight switch

hey guys i just installed some recon clearance lights to my truck and i need to wire them into my parking light wires.

How does the light switch cover on the 2005 and up models com off? I tried popping it off like my friends 04 comes off but it did not come off and i think i broke it

Is there tabs or bolts holding it on in the back?

The proper place to connect the roof marker lights is in the harness connector in the right side kick panel. It will be a brown wire.

our 06's do have the clearance light harness connection behind the passenger side kick panel as rwilimo describes. I installed the clearance lights and never touched the headlight switch. There are a many informative and very detailed threads about this. Use "clearance lights" or "cab lights" as the key word in the search function. Detailed description is Motoman's Madness

Also, by far the most comprehensive photo album that I've seen was posted by bpounds a couple of weeks ago. Look here Cab Clearance Lights pictures from cars photos on webshots

good luck. Hope you didn't break your switch.

If your harness for your lights isn't Ford and you have to tap into the wires, pull the bezel off the intrument cluster. It will take a little effort but will come off. Then get to the light switch from behind.

Even if your not using a Ford harness I would still connect to wiring in the right kick panel, as that is why it is there.
