Eventually got round to doing this myself today.
Took longer to access the wires than actually cut the diode and push it in.
Similar to @chipmunk I snapped the casing off as well, but it connector clicked back into the casing and after plugging it back into the switch, it looks like it will hold fine.
One question though......with the switch left in Home more, when you unlock/lock the car, didn’t the side lights use to come on?
