Headlight & Ignition Switch Replacement
 
Planning to replace the headlight switch. Does removal of the vent section and the headlight switch provide any better access to the ignition switch? Not having problems with the ignition switch but might be wise install a new one if it's more accessible.

I always remove the headlight switch when I replace it and look in from the place the vent sits. It's not that much time or effort if you follow this:

Don't forget the screw marked by the yellow arrow:

They ignition switch (electrical portion) is the first step of this:

I like to use a screwdriver set like this to easily get the screws out and back in:
