3rd gen Limited fog light switch?

Hi all;

Is the fog light switch for the 3rd gen's SPST, DPST, DPDT, ???

I have an idea for something that requires a DPDT switch, and I have panel space for a rocker. So I'm thinking of getting a stock switch if the mechanical makeup will fit the application.

Thanks!

It is a SPST. Looking at the back you will see thre wires on hot, one ground (for the internal light in the switch) and one switched.

You'll likely have to get a cole-hersee or carling DPDT switch. I just installed a cole hersey 3-way on-off-on DPDT switch for lights and it fits perfectly. I got it here:
Cole Hersey DPDT Switch

It is not illuminated though and I'm still searching for the perfect switch.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the look at the switch and the suggestion of an alternative.

I got antsy today and went with a small DPDT toggle that I can stick on the side of the console without a lot of hassle or negative impact on the interior cosmetics.

All I'm doing is selecting between two sets of horns (original and air), and I need to switch the horn trigger as well as the compressor power. I just thought it'd be "cool" to have it disguised as a normal dash switch.

Thanks again!

I just left them both hooked up for my horns. Can't have them loud enough around here. Using the switches for driving and fog lights and an electric fan cut off for the radiator.
