No headlights

My 1995 E-320 has no headlights. Changed blubs, checked fuses no light. Neither high nor low beams. Think it may be the switch. How do you remove the switch ?

can you turn on the left-only or right-only side markers with the switch, or is that also not working? If those are not working, then you know for sure it must be the switch...

aren;t you the guy whose headlight knob was broken? What did you do to fix/resolve that?

That was someone else. Side lights and road lights work. But no headlights. Where do I look next? Any relays ?

If you hold the highbeam switch backwards, does it light up?

I had the same problem, it was the big relay/switch/thing that the knob is installed on.
