Are you referring to the switch in the door frame, or the switch that is part of the light?

The manual describes the process - although not terribly helpfully. I tried sticking the screwdriver in the long end, and cracked part of the plastic (oops). I think best to lever out from the sides (very carefully) - ie, not what I did. Would defer to the comments of those who have successfully removed without breaking it first...

Why would you do that when you can manually turn off the light?

Its been a while since I did it on my '90 C-4. The process was simple. The trick is realizing that the aluminum disk is threaded like a nut.

Step 1 - Remove the rubber boot/cover
Step 2 - With some large adjustable pliers, twist off the aluminum disk
Step 3 - Slide the switch out

Installation is the reverse.

I hope this helps.
