I had the front off my S2 headlamp level switch the other as I had a theory about Audi changing from bulbs to LED's on all the switches late on.
The run-through earlier on for the headlamp range control, used the switch from my 1993 TDi.
I wondered if there'd be a difference between that and the one in the S2.
Was right too, the red plastic light diffuser is clear in the S2's switch. That means it either uses a red bulb or a clear LED that shines red like the big seat heater switch in the last run-through.
Strangely, saw one on ebay, brand new in the box for less than a new one at a dealers, so thought I'd nab it >> Ebaylinky
Arrived today.
Same part number as the one in the TDi, but as said it's subtly different inside and looks to be the same as the one in my S2.
8A0 941 301 is the number.
Same process would be needed to change the illumination source as posted further back. You'd just need either a red bulb (number from Maplins given further back) or another 12v clear LED that shines red.
Here's some pictures of the later headlamp level switch with it's different illumination source for the archives;
A recap first, the earlier one from my 1993 b4 80 TDi (same part number)
AND the later updated one (again, same part number)
