if youre talking about the high/low beam dimmer switch on the floor , this is an easy swap and you should have no problem. hardest part will be getting the carpet out of the way ! beep beep !
 
If you're talking about the switch in the dash, it's pretty easy too. A replacement dimmer can be found at most parts stores and details can be found at the link about the lighting issue in my signature.

Long story short, if you remove the heater controls, washer/ wiper controls, there's a little button on the bottom of the dimmer assembly that you can push to remove the pull knob. The rest is pretty clear. Let me know if you need any help!
 
floor dimmer switch is easy to replace. two 5/16" bolts and a connector unplug. pulling the carpet back should be easy. remove driver's kick panel by removing sill plate, then the one screw holding the kick panel in, then just pull back on carpet at the corner (where driver's left foot would rest) and pull back towards the center hump. remove two bolt/screws from dimmer switch, unplug connector in install new one in reverse order. hope this helps.
 
Cool...Thanks guys...once again the wealth of knowledge in this forum is awesome!:love4:...Marla
