Time will tell I guess. I just know I went for the hazard switch because that unequivocally was latching.

Yeah, it may arrive Friday and I'll see then. It's no big problem as it's a used part and fairly cheap.

So I had to fit the fog light module, as well as the full switch gear, and rewire....
Just now seen your reply as it was hidden on page 1. I went with the PF fog switch so I'm more confident it's latching.

Sounds like it was an elongated retrofit...
