What headlamp switch do I need?

The PO put the wrong headlamp switch in there to just get by. I know it is wrong because he put the oval unit where it takes the rectangular unit. The oval unit he put in is non-auto no-fog lights. I know I have fog lights looking at the front of my truck but I do not know if I have auto headlights or not.

One telltale for auto headlamps is a small dark gray bubble on the center of the dash close to the windshield. That's the sensor. I'm not sure if all trucks have them or not.

Another reason may be that the round is for a non auto system.
Personally have never seen a round one on a 6.0 but all the ones I worked on were auto.
Only thing I can think of other wise how would it be able to plug in?
