To replace the headlight switch in a 66 mustang, you first have to remove the instrument cluster housing. After you have that out of the way, you will see a small button on the housing of the switch mechanism itself. Pull the switch knob all the way out, as if turning on the headlights, then push that little button and the switch stalk will pull all the way out of the switch housing. Then unscrew the switch bezel, pull the switch housing back, so that it clears the dash, unplug that big wire connector from the side of the switch, and remove the switch entirely. To install the new switch, you just do what you just did, except do it backwards.

Why don't the head lights work on my 1966 mustang all other lights work?
I would guess the headlight dimmer switch on the floor board is bad or has a loose wire. Possibly the head light switch is bad. The headlight switch has a separate circuit breaker for just the head lights.

How do you fix the brake lights on a 1966 mustang?
How the brake lights work on a 66 Mustang is very simple. Power goes from the headlight switch to the brake light switch, then through the turn signal switch and back to the brake lights. There is no fuse in that system. There is a self resetting circuit breaker in the headlight switch, but, if that was tripped, none of the lights on the car would work. The first thing to check is the brake light switch itself by bypassing it. Unplug the connector from the switch and run a jumper from from one slot in the connector to the other. If the brake lights come on, replace the brake light switch. If they don't, the problem is either a wire has lost continuity or there is a problem in the turn signal switch.
