I'm getting ready to install a set of HELLA's with VIP Brackets and am thinking about buying the OEM switch/panel to keep the consistency of the interior. Can anyone confirm which switch and cover panel it is? I know there are two parts but both have the same part number. One is for Countryman prior to 1/2012 and the other post 1/2012. As I said they both have the same part number and in fact when I search on realOEM for this switch for the R61 (the car I'm installing to) it only shows one type. Also realOEM only shows one picture but I'm pretty sure it's for the pre 1/2012 cars. Below are the pictures of the two types: First picture in the far right corner shows the switch and panel. The second picture I found on the internet is what I believe to be the newer switch panel. I just want to make sure I'm getting the right one and I don't see how the first one will work on a 2012+ Countryman or Paceman at all. Looks more like an R56 panel.

I Installed the OEM's a few years back and the switch in the diagramed picture looks identical to what was installed as part of the whole kit...I have a 2011 CMS all4s
