Head light switch ground tab?

[67dartgtgo]

Hi guys, just bought a new headlight switch and noticed it comes with a tab on the rear of it. I'm not sure what this is for as my old switch doesn't have it.
Could it be an added ground?
Thank you.

Just making sure.

Some later models needed a ground on that switch so all aftermarket switches have it. A "one size fits all" replacement. To add a ground wire there in any application can be beneficial.

Yep, being it's part of the entire metal surround it could only be a ground.
I agree that it wouldn't be a bad idea to use it as such, but you don't have to for it to work.
