Default headlight *** broke

So I was pulling the *** out and the whole safe came out. I put it back but will still come out again and now my lights don't go on at all. Any help? Thanks

Usually you need to push the button on-top of the headlight switch to get the shaft out. (I think it's on-top). I might check and see if possibly something is pressing the button? Like wires...OR...you are 1/2 way to installing a new switch!
