Headlight Sweatch

Can anyone tell me how to remove the headlight sweatch from a 1969 Ford F350?
Thank you.

To remove the switch, you have to depress a tab opposite the plug on the housing while you pull out the ****, then unscrew the trim bezel and it comes out from the back of the dash.

Well, it wouldn't be much fun to pull your headlight **** clear out in the dark, it's just a safety feature I guess. Pretty universal across all the pull-**** headlight switches.

It is funny that all the dash ***** on this 1969 Ford F350 come offer deferent.
One has a set screw, one has a retainer inset, and the headlight switch has a secret button.
Good experience.
More fun to come.
