Default Headlight **** Removal

Hi!

I'm going to be replacing a digital dash bulb in my '89 soon, and I was wondering if someone who has done this can let me know how to take the **** off the headlight switch so I can get the cover bezel off. It looks like you put a small screwdriver in the slot at the back of the **** and then push the retainer ring (or whatever it's called) back. Is this correct? If not, please let me know what's the right way to do this. Thanks!

Cheers,

/s/ Chris Kennedy

Funny, I was just doing this yesterday (removing the headlight switch ****) and had the same question as you.

Here is that thread:

I did as everyone said, and it came off.
