Need to swap out headlight switch with one that has fogs

Hi,
I have been looking for a used headlight switch with the foglight option for my 06 but so far after months of monitoring Ebay I have yet to find one. I can find them for the 00-04 Foci but the front housing is different between the two. What I am wondering is if anyone has taken apart a headlight switch and if so does it appear that the front housing can be replaced. Looking to possibly buy an 00-04 switch if I can swap my switches front housing/faceplate so that it will fit properly in my dash. Worst case scenario is to pick up a new one from Steve for 60+dollars (no offense meant) versus used for around 20.
Thanks,
Brian

Have you checked the local Salvage yards? I would think that they should have something.

I have the switch you are looking for. I have several parts cars and a couple of them have the correct switch. If you are interested, give me a call. I am located in Hastings. Thanks, Al Ficker. 651-216-0899.

Completely unrelated question, but if you ever get a hold of a sonic blue SVT with an undamaged passenger side fender, throw a post up, I'll buy it from you.

Anyone know when a good time is or even more important when I shouldn't try to call Al? Left him a p.m. but I'm guessing he doesn't frequent the board so I haven't got a response back from him yet.
Thanks,
Brian

He normally answers in the mid morning or afternoon. Just try giving him a call duing 'business hours' to not disturb his evenings or anything...

Thanks, does Al deal in scrap for a living? Don't know much about him.

The city is kind of getting after poor Al, you might want to get a hold of him before he has to get rid of all his cars.

He actually just worked out a deal with a guy so the Focus Yard isn't at his house anymore. He has just a couple there and the rest are at another guys place. Boy if he did need to get rid of them I know there are a couple i would like to get my hands on!!

Ya,
he had a nice black SVT and a nice S2 when I was there. The other SVT was the yard.
