Torx size?

Flathead screwdriver.

Come in from the side and gently pry the tabs in and wiggle the headlight switch out

I second that. After my plug went bad I had to take it out everytime for two months(got so good I could do it with a finger, wouldn't recommend it) to get the lights to work.

May I ask exactly why you are taking it out? Did you get a new one?
 
I got them out, easy as pie. I just wanted to splice into the headlight switch wiring to light up some gauges that I'm installing in the center vent. I ended up splicing into the hazard light switch illumination wire. It works great and was easy wiring right down to the new gauges.
