Headlight switch question

I need to replace my headlight switch. I have an 2003 XLT w/fog lights. I don't have auto headlights.

Will the light switch for an auto headlight truck work on a non-auto truck?

The switch is just a switch, the big question would be is the plug the same? I would suspect everything would plug in fine and run, but I don't know for sure.

You meant to turn it into auto headlight truck? Short answer is no. The light sensor as well as some other circuits need to be added and as far as i remember the trucks weren't wired with them.

I just need a new headlight switch as my headlamps only illuminate and not my tail lights, fog lights ar dash lights. The switch should work and there are more of the auto headlight switches than what I have in my truck now.
