The dash (metal section) doesn't have to be removed, just the plastic
housing that covers the instrument cluster.  Pull up from the back, next to
the wind screen and it will sort of hinge for a bit on the front edge of the
instrument cluster.  Once the cover is off, you can see all the switches
quite easily.

Subject: Headlight switch help

The switch for the headlights on my 87 Westy has become stuck in
the "on" position. Is there any way to get at this switch to replace
it without removing the dash board?
