for those who dont know there Passat items with silver accent, hopefully they will liven the slightly dull looking switches up
pics of them installed when i can get the baby to bed and get on with the job :laugh:
-
Nice one matey, your going ahead with it then!!
Looking forward to the results (although it could be expensive!).
Whats the ball park for all the bits?
-
Nice one , i've been looking into these , how much did they cost if you dont mind me asking , and where from :happy2:
-
Well as i couldn't find the stock numbers to get a cost from the dealers I got the whole kit from a German ebayer and I paid 130 euros which if the rate wasn't so crap would have been quite good, even so for six parts that's not too bad IMO , especially as I'm told the headlight switch is about £50 on it's own
-
couldn't wait, doing bits while he is awake :signLOL:
from this (as i was removing them)

Looking great Shaun...oh an by the way I completely agree with your sig, it pisses me off sooo much when people have their foglihts on unecessarily because they think it looks good! :angry015:
-
I hate it when there's a slight mist around and suddenly everyone turns on their foglights!
# use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves to avoid dazzling other road users (see Rule 226)
# you MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236).
Yet I see muppets look around, see some fog and turn them on when you can see more than a mile down the road!
Anyway, I digress. Love the look. Was planning on this mod but didn't trust buying from Germany, especially since the guy's English wasn't particularly brilliant.
What tools did you need to do these mods?
-
all done, just done the 3 small switches

-
i like this mod :happy2:
i think the subtle the change the better the mod sometimes, the sort that make people see that somethings different but they can't work out what
-
Nice one Shaun, even more money to sneak past the misses. :scared: :sad: :rolleye:
-
The more i look at this the more i like it, what about the fuel cap release switch?

Very nice, I did the headlight switch a few months ago on mine. Definitely makes the interior a little bit nicer.

maybe i missed it, but where did u get these? looks much better :) :drinking:
-
you can but them from oempl.us or tmtuning has them
i think he got them from germany ebay..
forgot to add.. very nice 182_blue, have you tried the passat cc led footwell lights yet?
i went to my dealer last year he said they will be an order only item, then he said he can not yet source them!
very good upgarde, really bright footwell effect, similar to those in the audi q7 but there super cool cause they stay on all the time 8)

Cheers.

i do have the details that were on the German bill, but you need to make sure you need the parts i ordered (as in fogs , heated mirrors etc)
3C8 941 431 N XSH HEADLIGHT
3C8 959 565 C XSH MIRROR
5KO 959 855 XSH SINGLE WINDOWS X3
5K4 959 857 XSH DRIVERS DOOR
-
Thanks for that. I will see what they are available for over here. :wink:
-
Is the drivers door only the 5 door version though ..?
-
Really like those... daren't do anything to my car though, in case I break something!
-

The Passat auto lightswitch w/ fogs was about £35-odd for my one from the dealer.
@Simebaby, they're fairly easy swaps.
-

it is indeed, as I put above you need to ensure you order the right bits, mine was for a 5 door car with auto lights, with front and back fogs , car has heated mirrors too
Ps, there is a 2 door version available
-

it's really easy, only took me 15 mins, if you was near me I would
Do It for you
-
Any idea what the 2dr part nos are??
Cheers
Stu
-
i dont think there is a specific 2 door one, as the passat (donor car) is 4 dr only
-
you can buy the switches and just swop over the rocker cover part by dismantling it

Hi all,
So it seems like these are the parts req'd. Has anyone ordered a set recently? I need the folding mirrors switch if anyone has a number, and auto lights switch. I also have fronts fogs.
Dealer not helpful, asking for a chassis number!
-
Subtle (which is best IMO) and very smart. I like :happy2:
-
Does anyone know the part number for the armrest bit that houses the switches? Mine is scratched to hell thanks to the previous owner.
-
Looks nice - of course they should have been done like that in the fist place :-)
-
Nice mod, brings a little more class to the interior.
Will be considering it, thanks for listing the part numbers, will make it easier to order them.
