I am pretty sure you need to go in from the back or side of the switch. There is a release pin that let's you pull the know out. The problem is to get to it you have to pull the dash panel. But double check with other posts to make sure I am correct for an 82 before you dive in.

:iagree:

Not sure about your '82, but most headlight switches (including my '77) have a pin that you push in while pulling the **** out. I believe my pin was at the opposite end of the switch from the ****, but apparently some are on the side.

As far as removing the ****, I know your '82 dash is different, but I didn't have to remove the dash on my '77 to get the **** out; I just had to loosen it and I could get my hand back there to remove the ****.
