in the pik my finger tip is on the mechanism, it can be pushed twords the drivers headlight from my finger position. (the base of the red arrow is the tip of the cable and lever..)

or there is also an access hole directly under my fingertip in the metal cover plate ( the yellow circle.) that will allow a small screwdriver to access the lever.. but since its now a leverage thing the base (handle) of the screwdriver needs to forced to the passenger side.. i can move it with my finger so the spring is not that strong...just so you know not to over due it..
