Retrofit Euro Spec Headlight Switch Buttons?

BoostinChick · 09-18-2018, 08:12 PM

I am aware of the mod to shave down the nubs on my USDM headlight switch for the front/rear foglamps as shown here.

I am a bit of a stickler and want it to look as factory as possible. Would this work? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-B...gAAOSwsa1bcs7d

Would not be looking to replace the entire headlight switch assembly, just pop off the rear fog buttons to the left and install them on my headlight switch.

Yup, that will work just fine

Cheap fix to look OEM, all though that auction states it may not post to the U.S.

Luckily, I’ve found a few across the pond! Just linked the first one I saw so I could confirm what I needed. Thanks! Hope to have some positive updates for those looking to do the same.

For anyone wondering - the piece I got from eBay was total PnP. The Euro fog light buttons even light up. Cheap and a win!

Now you just need this to complete the look!

Indeed - didn't notice that! I'm also waiting on mine - shipping is slow!

Oh I need to do this, I have a friend in the UK so if a reseller won't ship he will

That's exactly what I was looking for two years ago! Can you post a link to the seller?

I've already done the mod and coding, and I couldn't find any replacement buttons when I did it.
