Headlight dial switch is stuck

Hello All, Its been a while...

My headlight switch is failing and I need to replace it.  Not a big deal, it should be a 20 min. problem.  But, part of the problem is that the dial refuses to pull out, so I cant remove it to get to the panel screw under it.  I can think of no other way to remove it other then drilling a hole through the dial and then having to buy a new dial too.  Anyone ever come across this problem and have a better solution?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Loren.  However, the ignition switch is not the problem.  Its the headlight switch.  The problem is I cant remove the vent.  There are three screws holding it in place.  Two outside by the door rail, and one hidden behind the light dial.  If the dial cant be removed, the vent cannot be removed.
