Pull the **** as far out as it will go. Now press the spring-loaded button on the light switch and simultaneously pull the **** the rest of the way out.

Thanks Joe! I was pushing that button but probably not pulling it apart to hard.

Will retry!

There's a trick to this. You must put the **** in the "headlights on" position and let go, do not pull on it at this time. Now press the button, THEN pull the **** out the rest of the way. If you pull on the **** while you press the button, it often won't release fully and you can't get the **** out.
