How do I remove the Light and Wiper *****?

I need to remove the light and wiper ***** on my 78 F250 so I can remove the trim and radio. I tried pulling straight out with no luck. Any ideas?

From the first page of the "read first" at the top of the forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ml#post1600977

As for the wiper switch ****, there is a tab behind the **** that you push toward the ****, and it slides off.

Fits: 1973/74 & 1975 (before serial #V80,001) F100/350.

D4FZ11661A .. Headlamp Switch **** & Shaft / Obsolete

Fits: 1975 (after serial # V80,001), 1976/79 F100/350 / 1978/79 Bronco and 1974/80 Pinto/Bobcat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D1AZ17513C .. Wiper **** / Obsolete

Fits: 1973/75 F100/350 and 1971/72 LTD / 1972/73 T-Bird / 1973/77 Maverick/Comet / 1973 Pinto/Bobcat.

This wiper **** is still available from Ford. The (un-believable) MSRP is $30.98!
