Default How to remove headlamp switch?

I think I have an electrical short behind my headlamp switch.How do I remove it? Do I have to remove the bezel around the guages first.Or does the AC vent pop out?
Thanks

Pop out the trim plate, should be 2 screws holding the
headlight switch in place. Two connectors to switch, one
on left should be dimmer switch connector.
This is what the Helms manual shows for a 2000.

Yep. Out of curiosity I took mine off yesterday. There is
a tab on either side of the trim (inside) that hooks to the
dash.Just ease the trim off with your fingers and you'll see
the switch.
