Just as a side note Dan, I'm guessing you will need one from a car without HID headlights, as you will need one with the thumb wheel to manually adjust the height of you headlights.  :y

Yeah, the HID's are required by law to automatically adjust, therefore they have 2 level sensors that feed info to an ecu, and no manual thumb wheel.  :y

The switch bank for front & rear fogs is a separate unit James. When removing from main switch the thumbwheel remains as it`s part of the switch body ;)

How so Rob?



Do you mean you have to take the unit apart?

Anyone know how the light switch knob comes off ? The one I have here is the correct spec,but the knob has some wear and tear.Dan may be able to swap it over with his one.

Prise the fog switch bank out from underneath the main switch

Rob, you're a legend!

So am I right in thinking that the main body of the unit is the same for all models (I've noticed they all have the same connections on the rear of the unit), and the fog switches and thumb wheels can be added to any of them?

Also, more for Dan's benefit really, I'm assuming the fog switch part can be removed without having to remove the whole switch unit from the dash?

Main bodies are the same. If you don`t want to snap the retaining tang (2nd pic, middle of contacts) switch needs to be removed :)
