I paid about the same for a 5dr set from here - http://www.aliexpress.com/item/OEM-VW-Chrome-auto-Headlight-switch-rearview-side-mirror-switch-Door-window-switch-for-VW-CC/868647665.html

I found it a bit confusing when I was looking as not all of them appear to be manufactured by VW. Also noticed a couple of sellers saying they are LHD only but couldn't understand why!

Seems expensive, couldn't you get them from Bold Sport ?

Fitted my set now, found it harder than expected particularly doing the window switches. Looks nice though!

Looks like the price on eBay has gone up by £100, it was £30 when OP first posted!

Your right. I think the eBay sellers play this game when they are out of stock to avoid relisting.
