[Vwdiesel] 91 Jetta Headlight Switch

[mikitka]

Thanks Val.  I tried car-parts.com and they don't list a switch in the main
menu. I did a search for wiring harness and there was 4 that came up for
Southeastern area. It is amazing how this one thing cost so much. I seem to
have that luck. My 65 Impala SS that I'm working on has a few parts that
replacement parts are not made for. Now if it was a 64 or 66 model no
problem but being that one year 65 it is the one that is hard to get parts
for. Case in point, the rubber shift boot for it is no long made and there
isn't anyone out there that makes one for it. You can get a 64 or 66 boot
but not a 65, there is a slight difference due to the center console. There
was one on Ebay that was new still in the box that someone found. It went
for $450. For a rubber boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Several days ago we discussed the headlight switch on a 91 Jetta.
I claimed that I had seen one for $19 and change on the autohausaz
site.

Whether or not I saw one there, I was simply wrong.  It's really a 
common occurance that I'm wrong; just ask my spouse and kids.

Here's the scoop, from autohausaz:  The switch fits 90-92 Jettas,
and is 191 941 531 N, and costs $92.30.  So we're back where 
we started.  I'll continue to wiggle mine to get the headlights on.
When it fails, I'll go to a row of aircraft style toggle switches,
and use a checklist to get the marker lights, headlights, and 
enlightenment turned on.

Speaking of light problems...anyone receltly changed a license 
plate lamp on a 91 or similar vintage?  How do I get at it?  Do
I have to pull the big black trim on the back off?  Or am I just
wrong again?

Wrongly yours,

Val
