Definately not stock. Maybe he thought he had knight rider or it was a Nitrous switch. Just my guesses

most defenitly not stock.. but I have seen those very switches you could buy.. all fake.. some say oil slick, machine guns, rocket launcher.. etc.. funning things to have in ones car to ease road tension.. I've even seen some that had sound effects..

in the 80s you could buy lil switches that matched the other OEM switches and said funny things like BOOST or smoke screen or whatever..
