How do you remove the headlight switch on a subaru

The dimmer switch on the turn signal stalk can be open, so that either the high beams, the low beams, or neither the high or low work. It requires a new turn signal switch, sometimes listed as a multifunction switch.

Under your hood is a plastic box with relays in it, the headlight relay is stuck. Tap it with something and it will release. Probly should replace the relay. See owners manual or google the headlight relay location. Cheap at an auto store.

could be the headlight switch

I think I answered this question this morning, but it may have been for a different car.
Assuming the headlights are ok, I would check for power in and out of the dimmer switch, then the headlight switch.
Both are incorporated into the turn signal switch on the column.

short circuit in the switches somewhere

Well, if this is like my 93 Subaru Loyale, (2wd) there are actually two horns. Each are located just under the headlights. Absolute access to these (if the same) will require the front bumper being removed, or by pulling out the headlights.Considering the headlights need to be aligned to a specific direction, and are hard to re-position, I suggest removing the bumper instead. Your choice.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

get in behind headlight under hood and look for a central plug or screw for the headlight to remove to get to the bulb you will have to unplug the wiring to pull it out and a spring clip youll have to press in towards the centre of the globe to remove it

This is a problewm I have been researching. On the 91 Loyale there are two headlight relays. The relay for the left headlight also controls the instrument lights and the running lights. If the right relay is working and the left is not, the left headlight will be dim because of a back electrical path through the high beam indicator light on the dash, but the instrument and running lights will be out. I have been trying to find out where Subaru put these relays, but three Subaru service departments have been no help. One dealer's service department told me to remove the large bezel around the instrument panel. I did and the relays weren't there. Lots of luck.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A SEALED ASSEMBLY. YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE COMPLETE HEADLAMP TO ACCESS THE BULBS.

Surely an issue with the Parking lamp/headlight switch
