Headlight knob removal

[Marty31]

Hey fella's,

I'm swapping the guage display in an 03 GT. How do I remove the headlight knob in order to slide the plastic shroud off the guage display? Thanks for any help you guys give me.

pull the lever out (lights on) and slip a small flat heads screwdriver or nail etc into the slit...and press in. At the same time pull out the knob.

Excellent. Makes sense. Thank you very much Bob.

Did you get a new knob? The replacement billitt ones from like UPR etc install with a set screw..looks better and easier to get off/on

Keeping the stock one for now.

For me it would be as simple as just giving it a little pull after its all the way out and it comes right off. Happens all the time on accident if I pull a little too hard when turning on the headlights.
