Is there a retrofit (more conventional) push/pull dip switch available for
this model?

The standard pull/pull item is cumbersome to use and you are unable to use
the flash function (for e.g. to thank someone for letting you past) when the
lights are on.

Personally if I let someone past and they flash me with full beam at
night I'm usually less than happy, just waggle the indicators instead
;-)

That's the problem! They get full beam from the RR instead of a flash. You
can do it if you're careful and lucky but most of the time the wretched
thing goes onto full beam. I have always preferred the push/pull switch used
on the vast majority of cars. I take onboard the useful tip re indicators!

Or momentarily switch headlights off.

It may be more complicated but is it better?

Works for me!  Or do what they do in France and just bloody ignore you,
even if you've been waiting for half an hour for them to go past. Rude b*ds.
