headlight switch on 05 Sunfire GT

Anyone ever replaced a headlight switch on one of these cars?

How hard is it to do, or am I better off having a shop do it?

TIA

Its actually pretty easy.

On the bottom of the steering column plastic are 3 7mm bolts. Remove those.

The upper part snaps off, the lower will fall away.

There are two or three 7mm bolts holding the switch in. Take those out (use a wrench not a socket). Unplug old switch, repplace w/ new one.

Installation is the reverse.

Thanks Kardain,

I was imagining having to remove the steering wheel (and airbag) to get to it. Not my idea of fun.

Your way sounds super easy...

First time I replaced mine, I took out the steering wheel, second time, I used an open-end wrench and it was 10x easier the second time around.
