Hello everyone I'm replacing the switch old one is worn where the thumb wheel is and I want to know is the a diagram or steps to replace it.dont want to crack the dash or any parts around it. Thank you

 

Here is a link to the 1996 factory service manual, free download. Remove/replace headlight/dimmer switch is covered in Volume 1, Part 2, page 8C-25. Not sure if this will help. But there is a diagram showing how the switch is mounted in the instrument panel bezel. There is also a useful caution indicating not to put pressure on the switch **** or dimmer thumbwheel, or it may damage the switch.

Just downloaded,damn has everything thank you. There wasn't too much on exactly how to get at I'll get it tho. I was just worried bout cracking or breaking the cheap *** plastic lol being 20 years old don't help either.

 

If you have to pull the bezel (surround) off the cluster area, be VERY careful. There are spring clips that push into the main dash structure, and the plastic the clips are mounted to will break right off the bezel. I lost one of mine when the car was still relatively new.... now that they're 20+ years old, they have got to be seriously fragile.

 

It appears in the manual that the bezel for a Camaro has screws holding it to the IP carrier instead of clips, like in the Firebird. To remove it all the way, you may need to drop the steering column an inch or two, just two bolts under it.

 

Thank you I knew this was gonna be tricky
