All, i have just ordered a replacement headlight switch from minispares as mine is cracked and faded, just wanted to know the best way of removing the bezel and switch holder (circled in red below) on my 1996 mayfair, so i can remove the old switch and replace it with the new one, or is it possible to remove said switch from the back and replace it that way, anyway cheers for any replies in advance, Aaron

it will pop out towards you. be careful of the earth terminals on the side of the switch, 2 min job. (small block connector on the back)

Pop the batttery terminal off before taking the switch out the white multi-connector has live wires in it and I have seen to many slide back and short out on the slot

Cheers Petey, but will that work, the switches seem to be recessed behind the switch panel/holder

yeah as above remove battery terminal if you have never done it before. reach behind/under and push it through it is a tight fit.
