Default 2001 Headlight Switch W/Fogs

I have a 2001 Dakota Sport with OEM fog/driving lights in need of a new switch. The **** on my old one broke its retaining clips and slips off. I know there are switches available in the $50 range. That I can deal with. What I don't like about the OEM switch is that turning on the fog/driving lights requires a deliberate pull each time the headlights are used. Is there one available that would maintain an on position for the auxiliary lights so that when the headlights go on they would go on as well?

You might find the switch cheaper at the boneyard.

You could tie the sense lead for the fog lights to the headlights sense lead - the switch doesn't directly turn on either set of lights, it tells the CTM to turn them on.

I am trying a very inexpensive fix. Crazy Glue! Stuck it on a few days ago and so far so good! Worst I need to do is blow the fifty bucks if this doesn't work!
