Light switch

Post by Lowthy1989 »

Basically my light switch has alot of play in it and it constantly keeps putting the fogs on when you turn main beam on!

I went to see how much it would be at VW and they want over £100!

Checked eBay and see this:

Has anyone ever bought one? Does it work?

If not any ideas where I can source one from?!

The chrome ones are the nice upgrade

I bought one from Oriental parts, fitted perfect and worked just fine too. Whereabouts are you? I have a spare standard one that I really don't need or have any use for

Just a bit, was gonna say you could have it if you were local..The chrome ones do look good though and making a massive difference, plus they're pretty cheap!

I was looking for the chrome light switch also, but the ones i keep looking at on ebay (dont fit polo 9n3 2006) or so they say.

Even the link above says it wont fit???

The last part of the chrome interior styling will be complete when i get one of these!!!

Howdy,

Apologies, the light turned up yesterday!!

I am yet to install it. I'm not 100% sure whether i like how it feels, by this i mean when you physically move the switch to turn lights on/off etc.
Pics coming asap!
