Title: Headlight switch removal
Post by: 182_blue on January 22, 2009, 10:53:46 am

Ok, had a little play but didn't really try hard as i don't want to break it, i read that pushing the switch in slightly and turning it clockwise removes it, but it didn't, anyone one else tried it ?, if so how did you remove it
