How to remove headlight switch?

How do you get the headlight switch out?

i have removed the panel on the front and tried jamming a screwdriver down the side of the switch but it just won't budge, and if i pull it much harder i think i am going to break something

yes that is the way to get it out, i think it you try using someting thinner and point them downwards because the clips may be lower than the holes

mine came out with a bit of wiggeling too

isnt that top picture upsidown?? if i remember right its the other way up may be wrong though??

Got the thing out now thanks guys

Had to pull half the bloody dash out as couldn't get to those metal clips

replaced it with a new one and I still have the same problem, when I turn the headlights on the rev counter and temp gauge stop working  

Anyone want to buy a Mk1?

God knows what way up it goes its not been fitted for 9 yrs

just posted the pics to give an idea of the clips

Sounds like a bad earth?

Instrument pod earth?

its the earth that goes to your clocks, the second wire on the plug thats on the clocks,
splice into it and make an erath from somewhere, wen its earthed it should stop your problem
