Highbeam switch replacement?

Long ago I read a thread on here about a lever/switch near the base of the steering column that actuates the highbeams.Ive had mine kinda break/misalign and I had to slide it off to use low beams.Now I can no longer click on the highbeams and want to know where I can find a replacement of that part and what its called. My highbeam/turn signal lever is fine for sure.Does anyone have an exploded view of the column of how it works..is that just an adjustment issue or finding a replacement.Not being able to flash high beams is becoming a problem.Luckily I have hid lights and is plenty bright but I cant flash other ppl or use high beams in dark country roads.

Lol you wouldnt expect it to be called the dimmer switch but that looks to be the assembly.And its cheap which is nice.Shouldnt be hard to change either.

Thanks Sofa
