Anyone know how hard to replace that thingy is? : : I'm no mechanic, so when need to remove steering wheel/Airbag and such : vital parts, I'm not even gonna bother. If it's just removing some : screws and plastic cover, I might give it a go. Any indication what : that part should cost from a breaker? : : K.R., : Nel as a non mech guy, i can say its a pretty straightforward replacement. you need to take the steering vanity cover off and unscrew the switch - un-hook the harnesses and put in the new switch. all done from under the steering column. about 1/4 hour, tops. i got a part from a breaker (we call them wreckers on this side of the atlantic) for about $150 canadian. but you have to check that the hi-lo beam works on the replacement part, or you'll be taking the switch assembly apart to repair that little plastic mechanism....
