I must have forgot to tell you to detach the hood release mechanism. Looks like it went OK with it in place, though. When you get that panel under the steering wheel completely free, you are most of the way towards being able to RR the cruise control amplifier, should that be necessary.

[MBZ] Today's Work: Changing a W124's Headlight Switch
Today's work was changing the '94 E420's headlight switch, about which I asked about a month ago. I'll forego the detailed explanations and just attach the pictures, since it's getting late.
