It looks pretty stock - it is on the left side of the dash just in front of the steering wheel. It lights up green once pressed (defaults to off every time you start the car) and turns on when you press the high beams.

Can also be fitted in the handbrake console opposite the tyre pressure monitor switch if you have a facelifted car.

And fits (almost) perfectly in the euro shelf (in place of the OEM knee bolster) as well.

There are two versions of the OEM driving lamp setup.
The 63 12 0 144 132 is the one with the mentioned switch.

63 12 0 137 301 doesn't have one.

Make sure to order it right
