Headlight switch for late mk2

[R.O.R-2.0]

any of you guys know where i can get a headlight switch on the cheap? i have come to the conclusion that the one in my jetta is the culprit behind my lighting issues.. the switch in my car is the one with 10 or 11 pins, not the old style 8 pin switch.

there about 40-50 bucks everywhere online, but if someone local had one, that would be AMAZING..

let me know please! my switch kinda works for now, but i doubt it will work for long.

(the extra vibrations from the diesel engine sure are exposing all my electrical gremlins!)

thats for after you get rid of the gremlins.. they KEEP the gremlins AWAY..

dunno if it works like that for existing tenants..

Should have 1 or 3 probably.
Will check some pin counts in a day or so.
89 with CE2 probably same unit / pin count ?

Would take a 13" rabbit baby moon hubcap in trade
maybe 2 caps if you have a stack - lol

i do have a COUPLE rabbit hubcaps.. and the 89 switch should fit fine in my car.. my switch works, i just have to tickle it every once in a while..

Okay good.

I have a couple/few bags of Mk2 dash items Ce1 and Ce2.
Will check through and find non-8 pinners.

Then can test any prospects in my 89.

CE1 light switch has a "US" looking head light image on it. The CE2 light switch has a "Euro" looking bulb image on it.
I have a hand full of each. Hit me up if you need on if your still looking.

dont mean to argue, but i have both kinds of switches for my 85-87 GTIs.. both 8 pin switches. one was a mexican switch, and one was a german switch.

ive seen both symbols on the 10 pinners too..

Spearco, go ahead and you guys try and hook it up.
Lot closer and less shipping/time and etc...

i'll check mine out

just let me know RoR if you still need one later.
