Title: Mk6 Lights switch onto a Mk5?
Post by: bodger00 on June 26, 2010, 03:49:36 pm

I was looking at a MK6 today and I was thinking that the Mk6 silver light switch is far nicer than mine. Has anyone swopped one or do you know if this is possible without having to rewire?

Thanks

If it is the same as the Passat CC which I believe it is then it will be a direct swap.

I have one in mine at the moment.

I assume these are cheaper for 3 door than 5? 
4 less buttons if you count the drivers control block...
Think these kits are £100, but again assume this is 5 door... How much for us 3'ers?  :smiley:

You can get the Full Chrome switch set for the 3dr and 5dr from Boldsport.com,...

5dr, about £64 inc postage....

Click here (http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=Chrome&product_id=83)

3dr costs more.   :stupid: about £90 inc shipping.

Twin switch for 3 dr....

Click here (http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=Chrome&product_id=84)

And not forgetting the Fuel switch, £12....

Click here (http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=107)

I also have one of these for future placement....

Click here (http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=Chrome&product_id=113)

The CC Switch set are around £125 IIRC.

Excellent cheers :happy2:  Shame about the 3 door version prices.
I wonder if the 5 door front twin switch could be demounted and used in the 3 door?

Wanted to do this mod a while ago but as I have the 3dr I was slightly annoyed at paying more I didn't bother then.

dont forget postage and import tax.....

Post by: MC71 on February 06, 2013, 11:19:15 am

^^^^ they are the prices with shipping apart from the fuel switch price but just add that to an order. Import tax/duty is 20% and 4% on top (if car parts) of the value of the goods (if the goods exceed a certain value. Can't remember the value, around £100+). I have ordered a fair few times from Boldsport and have had had my item pulled by customs but it can happen so calculate that cost into the purchase, mush the same as you would when ordering from America.

Loads of Duty Calculators about on the web. The one I use....
