High beam switch, but also, once upon a time, a similar looking starter switch was to be found just under the clutch pedal.
I'm with you on the high beam.....our rv has one

Yep agree with that mini's and Morris minor's had them.

Definately main beam, dip switch. I used to have a Mini with a starter solenoid like that, on the floor between the front seats.
foot operated dip/high beam swithch, had a land rover back in the 1970s that had one of those, it also had a variable hand operated accelerator that could override the foot accelerator which kept the vehicle at a constant speed by notches on the hand device, used to be great to drive motorways foot-free from pedals just slip the hand device into notch to maintain a constant cruising speed, relaxing but dangerous but back then mototrways were not so busy as nowadays.
Takes you back that, my lovely old Triumph Dolomite Sprint had one of these lovely buttons!
Overdrive, linked with "Hyperdrive" in my fuddled old brain.
Dolomite sprint....now there was a great car👍 much kudos to you😎

Trafficattors, I believe, is the technical term. I remember my Dad fitting indicators to an Austin A35, as the flippers were almost invisible! Also reversing lights. It was more fun before all cars came equipped with
a. Everything
b. Computers
Mind you, the old ones came equipped with Rust as I remember!

Thank you Sir - though you may rescind that when you hear of her colour! Dolly was light green with a pink stripe from bonnet to boot. A hang over from her racing days.
And Blaidd, on the rust front my Alfasud could be watched rusting before your eyes. Remember leaving an outline of rust the wrong side of a humpback bridge after taking to the air when being over excited with the accelerator.
and unsynchronised gear boxes, i learned to drive by ''double declutching'' the young today may never of heard of that. They also came with tons of chrome that pitted or went yellow if not polished regular.
Overdrive double clutch primer or playing with the choke and every car was different had its own personality ,the days before transverse engines apart for bmc motors ,changing the clutch in a couple of hours "-) , the burn and smell of plastic on chairs on a hot summer day , bench seats ,zodiacs mk1 cortinas that looked like space ships .......
