Replacement headlight and wing mirror switch

Post by Hobbsy26 » Tue Feb 19, 2019 12:03 am

Hi guys,

Looking to replace my headlight switch gear and folding wing mirror switch as it would seem the previous owner has some very sharp fingers nails. Can only seem to find online the headlight switch for LHD C5s ( mine's a RHD ) and non-folding wing mirror switches. Does anyone know a place that sells the bits I need or is it a visit to my local Audi dealer?

Thanks in advance,

Adam

I had the same issue, Chinese stuff does not match up and its a different finish so best just sucking it up and going to a dealer.

Assuming your knob (hahaha) for the wing mirror is still ok you can just get the surround. I used a dealer in NZ who sourced it so they are still available. I have also been told by the same dealer that 'Audi Heritage' (if that's even a parts supply thing, google does not provide useful info here) now support the RS6 so parts should continue to be available going forward.
