Euro Headlight Switch

Sweet...been lurking eBay for a deal on the "Euro" Headlight Switch..found one and ordered one tonight.  Usually these are $45-60 ...got one for $20....looks like this!:







This will allow me to control (independently) the following:

- City Lights
- City Lights + Front Fogs
- City Lights + Front Fogs + Rear Fogs (If Available)
- Main Headlights
- Main Headlights + Front Fogs
- Main Headlights + Front Fogs + Rear Fogs (If Available)


Right now the stock switch will ONLY allow main headlights on/off when car is running.  I can't control the "city lights" with car on......no fun.

I dont have driving / fog lights yet ...but I will probably down the road.

    Just wanted to say I really like your blog and look forward to reading more. Back in September I bought an '03 24V GTI with roughly the same mileage as yours. Mine was completely stock except for an aftermarket sunroof. I put a magnaflow muffler on the stock piping and threw in a K&N air filter. Loving the car.


    Thanks for the vid on the coil pack. I haven't had a dead one yet in 5k miles, but I know I will sooner or later.
