Title: Interior dimmer/headlight level wiring
Post by: BruceFR on May 12, 2016, 04:18:16 pm: Right folks, this is my first post so please be gentle :grin:
I bought a euro lit switch assembly to upgrade in my Leon and would like to know which wires are for what (what colour is live, neutral, dimming, etc)
Here is a pic of the connector with the 8 wires:

Or can anyone link me a wiring diagram for the switch
Cheers in advance

I can't as I'm putting the switch into my Leon, therefore I need to know the wiring for the golf light dimmer
