Headlight switch tech question
Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
I hope this falls into the tech aspects of the VR6, although some
models also feature the driving lights.
Here is my situation. I have a early '95 Jetta GLX, from the factory
it did NOT have the Day Time Running lights (DRL's). It was before
swithching over. Consequently the switch has 3(or4) positions. 1= off
2=parkinglights 3=headlights ~4=pulled out drivers on.
Originally the postition 4 (pulled out) only worked with postition 3.
If the switch was returned to 2 or 1 it would drop back in and not be
abled to pull out. This switch broke, and was replaced. Also even if
switch was in pos. 3 and pulled out ~4 if the High beams were
activated the fogs would go out.
The new switch is a little different. same 3(or4) position switch
except that pos. 4(pulled out) can happen in pos. 2. i.e. fogs and
parking lights, however when set in this position the fogs will not
light. They only come on in pos. 3 (like the previous switch).
My question is, what is the set up of the European switch like (I've
never seen one)? Is it like the one I have, but has a different
jumper or relay configuration? Can mine be altered to work like the
European switch, ie, parking + fogs or Highbeams + fogs? OR is this
yet a third different type of switch (4th if you count the switch
configured for the DRL systems)?
Thanks for any incite.

I hope I haven't over stepped the technical boundries of the VR6
mailing list.
