I write this from memory but as far as I recall all switches in the dashboard and the center console are (except for their labeling) pretty much the same (with the added exception that some of them have a built in LED and some do not):

All of them are rocker switches which can close one circuit at a time by either pressing the raised part or the lowered part.
If you want the switch to operate in a way that you switch something on by pressing and then switch it off again by pressing again you will need a bit of electronics behind it, something like this:
