Smile Headlight Switch removal - without disassembling dash

Following up on dash light post, think my problem is headlight switch. Can replacement be done without removing any gauges? If I start trying while laying on my back half in - half out of the car - will I hit a brick wall and curse the day I tried, or is it possible?

Thanks

It would probably help is you posted the year and model of the car.

I've had success with cars that have no a/c. If you can get your hand up there to release the **** and shaft from the switch, then yes.

I have AC and have done it, but I also have tiny hands - yes I admit it
