Im trying to replace the headlight swtich in the instrument bezel .... seemed like a simple straight forward thing ...... most switch replacements are just SNAP in deals ... this isnt working at all ... what the magic code word ???
looks like it is a simple twist off but then again it does not ...

Baffled!!!!

help

You mean you got the old switch out, unplugged the wire, and replaced with a new switch, replugging the wire?

Or will the old switch not come out?

Or will the new switch not go in?

Confused.

If I recall correctly (it was on a 320i BMW), you pull off the switch. Underneath you will find either ... a small hex nut holding the switch internals in place, or a couple of small holes ... If it is the later, you have to find something to insert in the holes (like a small pair of needle nose pliers, or if you have it, a circlip remover) and twist it off.

Just my rusty memory at work ... but, it may help.
