Just curious if anyone with plain-old Halogens has installed this part?

Thx,

Yes, the switch I received was Part#: 61-31-6-932-796
I have halogens and the switch works fine.

I was planning to mod the NA switch but then the old OCD in me came to the surface and I ordered the Euro switch from Crown..shipped out today!

Thanks Brian & JD for all your input!

andr00 · 04-13-2007, 09:20 PM

just finished installing mine. great easy mod! although the air vent trim piece was a pain to get off! I was afraid I'd snap that mother off.

this is definitely gonna help when backing out of driveways at night. I live out in the sticks where there aren't streetlights, and when I go outside from the bright indoors I can barely make anything out since my eyes haven't adjusted to the low light levels.

2 people have posted how the Euro switch feels, 1 said the same, 1 said different (harder clicks for buttons, dial seemed soft/cheap). for those of you that have installed the Euro switch, let me hear some additional feedback please.

thanks!

msimon18 · 04-18-2007, 11:44 AM

Think this switch from Crown will work on an E93 ?? I would assume so.

looks like a nice job, does pushing your button feel like pushing the front fog one?
