I have a question about a Jetta and rather than join a VW forum just for one question... I figured that I'd take my chances here first.

I have a 2004 Jetta GLI and it has the standard US light switch: OFF (with day-time running lights) and ON (head lights + parking lights). I've always wished it had a setting for just parking lights. From doing searches I discovered that you can buy a Euro version of the switch (from a variety of places online) that has that setting.

So, my question. Has anyone here done this and does the Euro switch plug right into the US version wiring harness?

 

try asking windsorlove. he might know.

 

OK, thanks.

 

I believe it plugs right in. Check vwvortex.com

 

just pmed you back. good luck with it

 

aha!

 

here is the thread i mentioned in my last message

unfortunately i cant see the pictures (nor do i remember what i put up) but the headlights have an amber glow to them. those are the city lights. any color will work, just make sure they are legal. i havent had any issue with mine yet

 

I think I'm on the right track now. Looks like it should be plug-and-play so I'm going to order a euro switch and give it a shot. Maybe check into some fog lights, too.

Anyway, thanks for everything... especially windsorlove.

 

if its a GLI, doesnt it have fog lights? do you have the full lip kit and 1.8t or is it a VR6 GLI?
