Default Headlight Switch

My headlight switch on my 08 H3 works but doesn't light up anymore. Is there an easy way to replace the bulb in it. I replaced the bulbs in my window switch but I don't see how the headlight switch comes apart. I don't want to take the whole dash apart just for that.

Should have 4 screws on the back of it to take it apart.

Just so you understand. Im talking about the headlight switch, not the headlight itself. Cant see anyway that it comes out.

Well that is a god thing, because the headlight itself does not have four screws in the back of it to take it apart.

The headlight switch actually has 5 screws to remove the back cover and take it apart, and it has two bulbs inside.

How do you get to the back of the switch? Can't figure out how to remove lower valance below steering wheel. Is there some other way to get to it?
