The ones I've just fitted look like those on Ali Express. Paid about £20 for a full 5-door set including headlight switch, mirror switch and fuel cap switch. For the price I wasn't expecting much but anything would be better than my 118 thousand mile old ones! To be fair, I think they're extremely good. As mentioned on another post about them I've seen, the icons on them could do to be a couple of mm closer to the tip of the switch but thats purely an observation I made after being aware of it. Side by side with the OEM ones, theres hardly any difference in the icon position.

Looks a load better than before so for £20, until I do through and replace everything with OEM stuff, it'll do  :happy2:

I fit aliexpress ones 4 years ago, still perfect, no wear and definitely look OEM.

All, has anyone installed aftermarket switches or even better, know of a switch panel that will fit somewhere in my Limited?  Trying to do a clean install.

No problem with these switches.

Installed the window and fuel and auto headlights switch from aliexpress, all looks fine to me, not rubbing/wearing on the chrome so far and wasn't too expensive.
