I do not remember how it came apart but it was easy - I think you just had to release the clips.

Dave is correct about how to disassembling it.
I had a problem with my switch where the headlights would not come up consistently each time. So, when I disassembled it, I noticed that the four contact posts were contaminated. I filed them to clean them up but, there was not enough material on the posts to make good contact when the switch pressed and so the headlights would work. Therefore, I had to replace the switch. So, my point is that you may need to replace the switch.
