Inorder to pull ot the swith do i have to unscrew the whole instrument cluster or just the switch? How do you pull out the headlight switch? What kind of wires do I use because the gauge did't come with the wires?

are you putting in a new headlight switch?? if so there are 4 screws that hold the assembley on, I usually just pull off the bezel/assembley cause often it is brittle due to age and rather risk busting it up trying to pop switch assembly out I just due it as I stated

Just be careful and carefully pry the switch out. You'll probably have to go buy some wire.

They didn't have any wire? Go to like a stereo shop or something, all auto parts stores should carry wire...
