Default Need help removing keyring and headlight switch

Anyone know how to remove these two pieces? I'm trying to install the rennline dashcap and need to have these pieces removed in order to get it to fit.

A picture from another forum member for reference (hope he doesnt mind).

I suspected that; I need to buy a tiny screw driver. Any idea for the headlight switch? I popped off the **** but the actual turning mechanism is still attached to the dash trim.

After you take off the ****, you will see another black ring with four small holes. Unscrew that plastic ring and the light switch can be removed from behind the dash.

Van,

Here is a break-out from the parts catalog showing part 3 (rosette), it should screw off the switch.

Hope that helps.

Makes you wonder with the knowledge in this forum that if you asked how to add a flux capacitor to the 993 for time travel you would have three replies within the hour with schematics.

Just a FYI, it turns out you literally "unscrew" the bezel that holds it to the dash. I thought there were small screws but there weren't. You just turn the bezel counter-clockwise and it comes it. This applies to all lower dash mounted switches, minus the cigarette lighter socket.
