Default Removing Headlight Stalk?

The foglight switch on my headlight stalk is broken. anyone have any idea on how to remove it? i was thinking i remove the steering column cover but from there i dont know waht to expect.

also, i need to be certain that the headlight switch from a 1998 LS4 will work with my "95.

Not sure why it wouldnt, since its EXACTLY the same. Guess you might have to match part #'s.

When I did the foglight Mod, i took off the covers, and if my momory serves me right, there are a few screws you take out to pull the stalk right out.

the parts no. are off by ONE digit.

also, if anyone needs to swap parts, i have found a 99 LS that is salvaged and the owner is VERY reasonable with his pricing. all he asks is that u send him the broken parts since he wants to put it up for auction.

I would be interested in the 2 front brake calipers.

Can they be adapted to work a 94 UCF-10 w 18" SC430 wheels? Mine do not seem to be closing in synch.

Thanks,

Yes they can, a lot of SC, and IS owners do the big brake upgrade of the 95LS+. Question is, you might need spacers for the SC430 wheels to fit.
