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

Here are some pics!

The switch...


The connector...


The two bulbs inside... (one greater than the other)


You can see all is soldered!

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
