Question about this switch

[enoz05]

Does anyone knows what switch this is? It can be pulled out three times.

wiper speed switch? i haven't looked at mine recently ... but that would be my guess

Looks like an early headlight switch to me. I have no idea what year/make/model, but most (at least US) cars in the 50's-70's cars used a headlight switch like this. All in off. First detent parking lights. 2nd detent headlights. The knob would generally rotate which turned a variable resistor to dim the dash lights.

it looks like the E9 wiper speed switch (for early models), but that one has different pins:

I did a quick search, closest match I found is an E10 wiper switch:

I thought wiper speed switches are 2 pulls before the wipers launch off into the darkness.

This one looks very similar, the only difference is the numbers
The one I have has 1 - 2 - 3 and +

Mine is such that the switch, when would up to the full bright position for the dashboard lights, resembles a shower head spouting water downwards. Very appropriate given how much water my car lets in.
