'81 tandem long wheel base Mack model R I used to drive for the lumber company, had a switch, top left of the steering wheel, and it was high beams, specifically for that purpose, and it looked factory, the bezel had a label on it, courtesy light or something, it was a spring loaded toggle so as not to stay on high beams.
That switch came in real handy one time, I lost all lighting on the truck and trailer while on the return from Manchester Vt, one late afternoon, the best I could do was duct tape that switch into the on position. Opposing drivers flashed me on the way back, nothing I could do, was not going to run in complete darkness, and of course the office and yard was closed, no one gave a crap about you after hours, some of the adventures I got involved in when making late deliveries, no cell phone, no one to answer the 2 way radio, up to you to get home or be stuck.
