How easy is this to fix?

Not that bad , pry out the face plate - it should pop out about a half inch - theres a lever inside on top of the body - pull it to the left I beleive and the whole unit slides out of the dash.
Also there a twist turn combinnation you can use by turning the switch itself that does it easier - it on the internet - google it , it's in your manual as well.
I'm surprised it broke off , never heard of that happening.

Thanks for the help jbrew.
In case anyone is looking to do this, I found the thread. I dont think this would work in my case because the switch snapped off somehow...not sure how so I'm going to go to my Ford dealership tomorrow and see how much a new switch would cost.

Mine came off the other day, and I looked all over for just the ****, but no one makes a replacement it seems. I am gonna try fixing mine with some epoxy or something. The only thing broken is the little catch that the **** is held on with. I can turn my fogs on if I pull out the **** very carefully, but if I forget, it just pulls right out.

Yes ,
Ford has replacement *****, but they are not cheap!!! Mine broke off I super glued the pieces together. But I got a new one it was $25.00 at the dealer. What they did was look at the **** to see what they had in stock, & found one thats looks like the OEM ****. But its for a different switch. I haven`t even used it yet. Its in my glove box of my F150 now, just in case I need it.The Ford part number is.....3L3Z-11661-AA. Ihope this might help out.

Headlight **** fixed!
I got creative with some brass shim and some JB Weld Putty. It ain't pretty but it took me all of 10 minutes. I just cut a sliver of (0.020 or so) brass shim stock (about 3/32" wide) and wrapped it around. I crimped it around the corners of the crucifix shaped plastic socket with needlenose, and covered it with JB Weld putty. As it hardened, I shaped it with an x-acto knife to make sure it would fit inside the clear circular part of the switch housing. I used a jeweler's file to smooth the edges of the brass part where the little finger clips in.

Now works like it used to!
