Supplement: Headlight knob removal

The headlight knob seems to be a real problem with many customers trying to remove the black gauge cluster bezel.

Because of the location of the switch while installed in the Camaro, providing quality useful pictures were not possible.

Instead we hope that showing how the light switch knob and shaft are held in place, will provide help in removing the headlight shaft and knob while in the car.

The knob shaft will release from the headlight switch when the button on the switch is pressed. See images below.

Headlight shaft removal procedure

(1) Pull the headlamp switch to the ON position.

(2) Depress the locking button for the shaft, located on the switch.

(3) Remove the knob and shaft.
