Default 1946 Foglight switch

Can someone share a picture of where the fog light switch mounts on a 46? I know its a dealer accessory but not sure how to proceed on a search. Thank you everyone.

On the bottom left lower edge of the dash, below the light switch, there should be three holes, middle was usually used for columbia rear axle high low switch, if I remember correctly the far right is the dash lights brightness control leaving one for the fog lights. These hole should be pre-existing.

The switch looks like this:
However, I'm not certain what color knob is correct for '46.

The standard '46 interior trim color was a brownish hue called chocolate.

The EFV8 1941-48 book, page 3-9 lists different colors for the Deluxe Series Models, depending on the knob, from "Rich" brown, brown, and light tan

The knobs in my '46 Super Deluxe, page 3-10, are all listed as Blue Grey Metallic.

Just a case in point: The fog lamp switch knob did NOT necessarily match the dash knobs throughout the different years.

I am not exactly sure believe the knob is black in color and carried over into 48. The switch looks just like the one pictured in Kube photo with the fuse on the rear. This may be covered in the V8 Club restoration book. The 41-48 restoration book with over 140 pages is available through the club web page and you do not have to be a member of the club to purchase
