Headlamp Switch Replacement
I have a 2007 Tahoe LTZ and need to replace the HDLP/Dome Light/Fog Lamp Switch. I have no Dome Lamps upon entry and the push in portion of the Dome Light control is not functioning.
I purchased the replacement Switch with the intent of changing it myself but found that I can not determine how to get access to the rear of the Dash. The switch is a snap-in but you have to be able to access the rear of switch to release the Tabs.
Decided that before I break something I would seek your advice. My inclination now is to go back to the Dealer and let him do it unless I get encouraging advice from you.
I will appreciate any and all input.

I think I read somewhere that you just push it out from behind. Do a search on putting fog lights on a LS tahoe you may find out how. You have to replace the switch to put fog lights on the LS. I think that is where I read how to do it

I wouldn't necessarily pull straight out, even though it works. It's best to use a flathead and pry lightly and it'll slide out. You do not need to do go behind the dash to undo the tabs or anything, it's very easy. I swapped mine with our Denali's just to have the "DOME OFF" button instead of the symbol, plus I was bored waiting on paint to dry on my end caps.
