The low beams on my wife's '96 C280 have stopped working, having to drive with the fog lamps on if she is not able to switch to the high beams. I think that it is the combination switch, because I can spray contact cleaner in the switch and they will work for a little while.

My question is this: How hard is it to replace the combination switch in this vehicle? I am sure that you would have to pull the steering wheel, which involves removing the airbag (something I really don't want to do). How involved is it after that? Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
