How to Remove a Headlight Knob

The headlight knob on your vehicle will typically be held to the steering column assembly using two screws. The headlight knob for your vehicle should provide you with years of trouble-free service; however, when the knob breaks, you need to replace it with a new switch that is as close to the original manufacturer's specifications as possible. Replacement switches can be purchased from most auto parts stores; however, you might want to buy your replacement switch from your vehicle's dealership for the best fit and compatibility.

5. Unplug the electrical connector running to the headlight knob.
