    Well guys, I've had the Regal for 4 years and 86K miles so far. Now commuting into the woods and could use the high beams from time to time. It's time to replace the multi as it doesn't hold on the highs.

    Isn't there an oddball small torx or tool that is needed to pull the switch?
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    No special torx tool needed. I pulled one for Scotty in the JY. I ended up using vise grips and using one of the very small torx bits. There is enough room, but it's a bit of a slower process. Pretty sure Scotty just pulls the steering wheel. He has an extra good one I'm pretty sure.

    you need a long small torx to get the 2 from under the column iirc. take the steering wheel off or use the vice grips to get the one on the front out.

    It's either T25 or T30......I'm leaning towards the T25.

    That's not all that small. T25 is what the deck screws went down with. I thought it was much smaller.
