Which is exactly why I said "MOST hand switches", not "ALL hand switches".

Newer Hondas have the push-away dimmer switch. You pull toward you to flash the brights. My 2005 Si has the newer system, and my VX has the older one. Surprisingly, I don't mix them up while driving. I was repeatedly mixing up the wiper knobs when I started driving the Si, after years of using the older-style Honda wiper switch.
