Default Headlight switch question

I've taken the headlight switch off ( what kind of lunatic designed that system??) but need to take off the surround which has the word "lights" written on it. Does it just pry off... it almost looks like part of the panel? I need to remove it to recover the panel.

There should be a pin with a spring under it on the back of the switch push to remove switch you have to pull switch[****] while holding pin and then once out there should be a nut so you can remove the part you want

Hi.. Thanks for that... I've done all that and removed the switch body.. but the piece on the front with "lights" written on it is still attached to the front panel.. Should this just prise off... it seems pretty well joined.. and I dont want to break it if it's not meant to come off...

If you've got the switch removed, then yes the plastic trim ring that says (lights) on it is just stuck onto your panel from age. Just take a small screwdriver and it should pop right off.
