Door jamb Switches?
I just bought some replacement door jamp switches (courtesy lamp) from NPD and they don't look like the ones that I took off my 77 F150. The contact button sticks out 1/2" farther than my original. The NPD p/n is F-13713-2 and is supposed to fit 73-79 F100-F350 trucks. I can't see how these would work sticking out a 1/2" further than the original. I do not have the doors on right now, so I do not have any way to test them. Has anyone run into this before? Picture link below:

Thanks, For all your reply's. I have them all installed, but I'll have to wait till I get the doors back on to crush them down. Did the one's I took off look like the ones you folks took off?
