How do you remove the headlamp knob on 1997 jeep?

There's no single "headlamp knob" on a 1997 Jeep Wrangler (assuming that's the model, as you didn't specify). The headlight control is usually a switch, not a knob. The method for removing it depends on whether you're talking about the headlight switch itself (on the dashboard) or something else entirely.

If you mean the headlight switch on the dashboard:

1. Disconnect the battery: This is crucial to prevent accidental shorts and damage to your vehicle's electrical system. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first.

2. Remove the bezel (if necessary): Around the headlight switch, there might be a plastic bezel or trim piece. This usually pops off using a trim tool or a flat-head screwdriver (carefully, to avoid scratching). Look for small clips or tabs holding it in place.

3. Remove the switch: Once the bezel is removed (if applicable), you should see the headlight switch itself. It's usually held in place by screws, but sometimes it might be a push-and-turn type or have a retaining clip. Look closely at the switch and its surrounding area. You might need a small screwdriver or a trim tool to carefully pry it loose. There will likely be electrical connectors attached – carefully disconnect them.

4. Reinstall (in reverse order): Once you've removed the switch, install the replacement switch (if applicable) and reassemble everything in the reverse order of disassembly. Reconnect the battery.

If you mean something else: Please clarify what part you are referring to. A picture would be extremely helpful. Are you talking about a knob on a separate auxiliary light, a fog light switch, or something else entirely? Knowing the exact location and what the knob controls is essential to providing accurate instructions.
