Euro Switch, what is that ?

Please, I would like to understand what is the difference between the stock light switch and "Euro switch". For what I've read the Euro has "rear fog lights" control (?) and something about "parking lights"... If someone has pictures of these lights, that'll be great !

My Canadian B5.5 has "daytime running lights"... would the Euro interfere with that?

Thanks a lot !

Cheers, Martin

just search....


It lets you use your parking lights/fog lights/rear fog lights WITHOUT having the headlights on....Thanks basically it


You will need to remove RELAY #173 or cut a wire in the back of your headlight switch to disengage the DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS because then there is no point of getting the euroswitch as your headlights will always be on

I know you found your information already, but if you're looking for a euro switch, i bought mine from ECStuning. It has a lifetime warranty on it for about the same price as the rest of the euro switches. I would also pull the relay #173 before i cut any wires or bend pins over on the back of your headlight switch. Those aren't as easily reversable, even though you will probably never need to reverse them. My 0.02
