Can anyone advise me how to remove the headlamp switch from the dash on a 993? It's a minor point I know (but I'm a fussy git!) but the illumination has failed in the switch. Does anyone know if the bulb within the switch can be replaced or would I need to buy a new switch?

According to my information the bulb fits in the centre of the switch, I would leave the switch in situ and see if the centre cover can be carefully flicked out.

I seem to remember when I changed mine just the knob it comes off and exposes the bulb !

Thanks chaps. Daniel, so the rotray part of the switch just comes off to leave the bulb and base of the switch?? Does it just pull off?

don't know sorry.... I know the middle 4 switched twist out but their funtion is a pull out action, so take won't work on the twist headlamp switch..... unless you have to pull it out ?? which would sound possible ???
