Modified headlight switch 8P chrome into 8L switch

[g60leigh]

I spotted a switch for sale a while ago which was an A3 switch but had the newer 8P chrome knob modded onto it.

Can't find the add anymore so I've bought a 8P switch to use and mod.

Can anyone give me any pointers on how this was originally done? I can't see any obvious way of doing it (yet)

Strip it down and swap the knob over?

Think that will be the way.
Just wondering if alternative before I rip it to bits. Going to look at it one night this week.

I think ASH from the 8P forum did a thread or a post about stripping the switches down.
I'll take a look.

I take it back.
It was AC controls.

Looking at the pics of the 8L and 8P light switches.
It is a case of swapping the knob over.
I don't know how this is done but it could look ok.
