    headlight switch

    Yes I have taken them out a few times or so, BUT I can mash in the release button and the stem will not come out! I will rotate but not pulll on out. The tiny wire winding in its reastate were coming out, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. Any ideas, it has to come out!
