Title: Electric mirror switch compatibility
Post by: barelyrelevant on October 30, 2016, 07:03:50 pm

Hey guys,
Bit of a noob question here but just wanted to double check before wasting time and money.

I need to get a new electric mirror switch, mine is the version where the switch can only be set at L, heated, or R.

There are a few on eBay where they have a 0 position in between the L and R and the heated setting is on the opposite side.

I assume this is just a revised version or something and will be completely compatible but just wanted to check?

Thanks in advance.

I fitted this type to my 55 plate with no problems

But this won't fit as it's got a folding position
