osso Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Cut out a panel of the same shape, and stick it to the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 pop the twisty bit off the dimmer and there is a 8mm nut underneath (i think its 8mm) once thats off the switch falls out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 How am I supposed to remove the nob without destroying anything?? I'm about to do this...I'll use two small flathead screwdrivers with a bit of insulation tape wrapped round them. One each side, lever the knob off.

Guest CoolsBlue Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 i did this today an all!!!!get a small flat head screw driver, put it down the side of the dimmer switch pop it out, wont break, revealing a bolt you have to undo, unscew the bolt, pull out the box from the back, there you go, id screw the bolt back on tho and put the button back on to keep eveything safe while theyre of the dash...hope this helps..
