Headlight switch knob
Headlight switch knob
Hi all, my headlight switch cover came off whilst travelling & decided to fit new knob & cover - following 'how to replace this switch' link , I cannot see the hex nut to undo it - the new knob has a metal insert which carries a thread & I'm wondering if my old one has been glued in position? Any suggestions as to how to remove it?
Re: Headlight switch knob
Just turn the body of the switch anti clockwise to unscrew it.

Wow! So how long have they been unscrewing things to the left? I was worried about damaging the switch itself - job done but what happened to the hex nut? Thanks Althulas for the gen.
Re: Headlight switch knob
Somebody must have been there before and lost the nut or couldn't be bothered to refit it.
It is a lock nut done up tight to stop the switch being unscrewed when you adjust the dash lights intensity.

If I was not working away I would post you a spare but will be a few pence from the dealer, but any nut from screw fix etc will do you should be able to find the size of the nut on realoem.
