98 golf Ignition switch

I've been having intermittent headlights, AC, wipers, etc over the past few
weeks getting steadily worse. Wiggling the ignition seems to affect it.
Pretty sure the switch is going. Anybody an ignition switch on one of
these? I'm fearing it is a real ordeal.

Thanks, Actually found another site with a pretty good write-up on how to
do it:

Went pretty much as they discribe. Not terrribly difficult. Pulling the
adapter off the steering shaft is by far the worst part. Vice grips and a
gear puller are required
