DIY Head Light Switch Remove and Replace
#91
i had the same problem with the glue from the leather preventing removal of the bezel. While I was messing with it, the round piece of plastic/film that goes in front of the little light bulbs inside that indicate switch position popped off. It is just glued on. With that off, it was easy to grab the bezel from the inside and pop it out without risking damage. The plastic cover piece was then just pressed back in place afterwards.

The cluster has three connectors that attach from the back. It is simple enough to remove (There is a screw behind the hazard switch. Another on the left behind the little plastic cap). The cluster slides out toward the passenger side. It won't go far because of the connectors. You can see them best by looking through the windshield. Your symptoms sound like one of the connectors is not fully seated. They are rachetted - they don't just pull out - so be careful.

This thread is fantastic. Was having issues on my 01 C4 (headlights only, fogs worked fine). Did the cleaning method and so far so good! Super easy DIY thanks for everyone's contribution to this!

Thanks for the great write up.
I had my light switch intermittently not work and was going to order another part when I remembered that I had the MAF cleaning stuff I had bought. So i sprayed the contacts of the switch and down the tube of the switch and reconnected the **** and tuned it around in all the light positions to allow the liquid to clean within the switch assembly.
After letting the switch dry I reconnected everything and the lights now are working great.
So if you have the MAF cleaning stuff give it a try and the switch might come back to life.
