New Member IROCU2
Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am a new member here on the board. I own a 1987 IROC 5.7 no T-Tops.
need help in finding out how do you replace the headlight switch
For some reason I can not figure it out. Can someone help me out with this? Thanks

Re: New Member IROCU2
its a pain in the butt
IIRC, you need to pull trim(can't remember what) to access it, push a small metal button to release the ****, turn the nut under the **** to get the switch loose, then wiggle it out, then unplug the wires

Are you talking about the trim under the dash?

Hey IROCU2 welcome to the board, underneath the dash there is a big plastic trim panel, take that off. Look up from the underneath of where the switch is there is a spot on the bottom of the switch you need to stick a screwdriver in to release the *** (pull the fuse first). Once you get the *** out you are on your own but you should be able to figure it out from there.
Also, IIRC is shorthand for "If I remember correctly". If you can't get it figured out post it in the Electronics section on www.thirdgen.org and I have no doubt someone there could give you better instructions. It's a purely tech site and it's only for the third gen F-bodys.

Re: New Member IROCU2
Welcome IROCU2! Nice to see another 87 IROC 5.7L on the block. Mine now has 73,000 miles and it's starting to need a lot more attention. I still have most of my original paint and the spoiler on my trunk lid is really fading. I have not had a problem with the headlight switch yet, but that gives me something to watch out for.
Good Luck with your IROC!

underneath the switch itself is a button that releases the ****
if u bought the new switch already (i recommend it) you will see how it works
then remove the harness and whatever screws hold it in place
reassemble and voila
