ahh i see...i didnt think the switch would be any diffarent? or maybe it sends voltage to the dim/dip resistor? (yellow thing) i tried swapping the insides over in the switches,no go! when i turned the lights on all my stero etc went on one! :shock: yellow=missing pin. blue=extra pin on the inside only :? green=the broken bit. purple=diffarent positioning of contacts,reason why they wont swap over i think. grey=tried this part in other switch,no go!

after the cutting compounds use a polish and then a wax.dont use a wax straight after the cutting... neil. :)

on the old switch theres a little metal contact broken off from the slidy white plastic thing,if ya know what i mean :? :lol: but this metal contact is also missing in the other switch...they are totally different inside :? can anyone tell me what pin 56d does? and also the one marked NSL? cheers,ill have a more detailed look tommorow. neil. :) edit:oh,and does anyone else have a switch that does the above in my first post?

thats the weird thing dave,i checked on etka and both part numbers come up as corrado/scirocco 89-95 :? part numbers are the same except a B on the end of one. have you noticed the missing pin on the bottom row? neil.

i seem to be on a little mod roll at the minute :D :lol: just on with this,although i may sack it off and go with my original idea yet...

im just on with this,but im not sure im keen on it so i may go with my original idea :wink: just used an old stereo as a template. if i do carry on with it,ive got a couple of tricks to finish it off in a tidy way :) neil.

thanks m8! :D

no probs m8,good luck with it :) have you checked the obvious,plug leads/firing order/dizzy connection etc? i know you probably have but always worth a shot... neil.

ok...my headlight switch broke so i replaced it with a spare i had,all good :) until i realised sommet wasnt quite right... flicking on the sidelights,no probs. from sidelights to low beam,no probs. :) but when going from low beam,back down to the sidelights,the low beam stays on :? ! i have to knock the switch fully off,and then back to sidelights. so ive just compared em,can you spot the two differences? and whats the crack? :? cheers,neil.

just been to the scrapyard and raped an audi for its red fag lighter surround :D oh,robbed(not literally!) the twin pole vdo oil pressure sender off it too :D just the heater panel to sort now,not sure how best to go about it yet... neil.

a watchmakers screwdriver set comes in handy 8) especially for getting the insides of the window/sunroof switches out. you have to sort of pop the 4 lugs in (on sides of switches) and then push/pull the insides out. as for the soldering,try to 'tin' things up best you can,i chopped the old led's off and left the legs there then soldered to these. edit:oh! and dont put the covers back on the switches until you have tested them in the car,the led's need to be the correct way round! neil. :)

jmc,any chance you could print me off one of those heater panel acetate jobbies? :D :oops: its just that i practiced the wet n dry thing on a spare and it was going ok but ended up crap :( unless theres a better way? do mk2's not use a clear peice with a coloured filter? neil. :)

yeah 8) i used filters on the fog/heated window switches,and they match perfectly! the bottom pic was in the light compared to the others being in the dark thats all 8) although,if i find anymore household goods... :lol:

tell me about it m8 :lol: gettin pi$$ed of with not having the same wheels on each corner now to be honest :( feckin potholes! :evil: greeny,switches were pretty easy m8,just really time consuming! sunroof switch was the most fiddly! :lol: its funny,i tried saving the phone by converting it to green led's but it was harder than the feckin switches so its dead... :lol:

audioline house phones come in handy!!! :lol: ! leccy window switches sunroof switch headlight switch green abs light too! looks mint with the dials and fog/heated window switches now :D

wahooooo! house phone came in handy!!! :lol: :lol: ive done my spare headlight switch/both leccy window switches/sunroof switch!/and ive made the abs light green! :D leccy window switches: sunroof switch! headlight switch: and green for the abs light! 8)

ahh cool,cheers :) goes off to rummage through old crap in cupboard! :lol: neil.

cheers m8,which ones do i need exactly? i have read through the thread but its got me confused :oops: cheers,neil.

cheers guys :) greeny,i did consider doing the reverse thing half way through doing em at 2.30 this morning :shock: but i wondered about the lighting as stan says? bally,cheers :) might be a while before they go back on :( cant afford a new tyre to replace the punctured one... thats why im on with these cost free mods for now :lol: heres how its looking,now sat on the bbs's off the sportline,how close to the brake caliper!? :shock:

dont suppose anyone has 3 spare red led's that will go into the early window switches? :D :oops: can paypal a few quid for em! they are all i need to do now,oh and maybe the sunroof switch,does that need an led too? or can a filter be swapped? cheers,neil.

done the lcd's! and the heated rear window/fog switches :D did the headlight switch too,but its gone and broke :roll: when i turn the ignition on my low beam comes on :( neil.

cheers bally,i am just starting to get used to it now :D neil.

Spykee, if your cam/crank are lined up good...you can actually forget the intermediate shaft (connected to rotor arm,dont have to be at 12 o clock) all you have to do is turn the dizzy body until the rotor arm points at the notch,although it looks like it is in your above pic. :) neil.

Done the headlights yellow,still unsure about em as yet! also,with having a puncture on one of the porka rims,ive taken em all off and im on with polishing em back up to scratch like the one ive already done.see pics :) neil.

i cant decide! :lol: edging towards all yellow but not sure if it will look over the top... :? neil.
