Quite stupid though really being soldered as its a bulb and bulbs often blow. ::)

It's so a 'trained Vx mechanic' can suck air over his teeth and charge you for a new switch nstead of a bulb ;D ;D

NO. The front seat switches are proper switches & take the full load current (bout 5amps). The rears are used to control relays so that the seats cant be left switched on & reset themselves each time the ignition is switched off.

In short they are a different part. Sorry about that
