[V8] High Beams

[Kneale Brownson]

Airbag comes off with a couple torx screws from the dash side of the
steering wheel.  There's a plug under the top cover for the steering column
surround, which can be removed with two Phillips screws from the bottom of
the surround.  Wheel comes off with a big nut (like 24mm or so).  There's a
screw that needs to be loosened with a Phillips driver angled upward from
the console side of the lower steering column surround.  You only need to
loosen this screw some to be able to slide the switch assembly off the
column.  The lights switch is a separate part of the whole assembly which
can be  purchased that way.  I've gotten them from The Parts Connection.
Cheaper than an entire combo switch.
