Replaced the combination switch last night and finally after 2 years have high beams!
Fairly easy procedure, make sure to disconnect the battery first and then the red airbag connector under the passenger footwell (pull up carpet/insulation piece then one bolt and remove the metal plate)
You need a slender T27 torx screwdriver to get the airbag bolts. The 10mm nut needed a little torque and I just used a breaker bar and short piece of pipe and had a friend hold the wheel. Once you have the wheel off there are 2 small screws to remove the black plastic piece (shown hanging in below photo) and then 3 screws to remove the cruise control stalk and pull the combo switch right out.
Before I tore mine apart I disconnected the old one underneath and plugged the new one in to confirm that it was bad.
