    Hello all.
    I have a broken light switch and I would like to buy a new one, but there is a problem.
    Well, after removing the switch, there is no identification number on it, and the Lord in the store told me that without this number he would not look for me, so I am asking you for help.

    I only have rear fog lights in the switch, and the switches I found also have front fog lamps and halogen lights. I don't want to order blind because I don't know if it will work.

    So my question, if I buy a switch with front fog lights and halogens, will everything work as it should? Are you able to give me any ID number that will match mine?

    while the number I gave you is for the "continent"

    If you buy from richer equipment, it will work so that, for example, to turn on the rear fog lamps, you will have to pull harder because the front fog lamps will be in the first position and the rear fog lamps in the second position. Of course, what is not in the car will not light up.

    Such a question, just to be sure.
    It's hard to find a switch with this part number, so I have a question if the switch with the number 8L1941531E will fit

    I am asking because I want to be sure there is the same wire connection in the cube, without any DIY.

    99% yes ...
    the number you give is probably the part number ...
    while I gave you the catalog number ... according to whose
    you can buy a new one ... but with stimulants it is not so easy,
    because at auctions they usually give part numbers ... and NOT catalog numbers ...
    no. catalog does not have to and is not always the same as no. parts ...
    but to the point;
    you wrote about the Lord in the shop; that's why I gave you no. catalog ...
    but now I see that you are going towards the stimulant, and with that I will not help you much ...
    but if the one you are going to buy has the same functional markings (holograms)
    and it is functional on the mechanical / electrical side, it will be Ok ...

    nice...

    Google the photos from the back as you want to be sure.
    Electrically, the Golf 4 switch fits there (it only has a different lighting dimmer).
    No matter if you have front fog lights or not, the plug is identical, it only has a different number of wires, so every switch will go there and the basic lighting will work.
