Looks crap tbh, I've got this one fitted:



Uses a MK5 switch so looks completely OEM, works great. Will be up for sale in a few weeks when the car goes back to standard.

how does that one connect into the existing system?

they're listed on ebay so getting 1 shouldn't be too hard.

I'll let Nino have first dibs, not sure if it'll work with his xenons though.

Mine is a newer version of that and doesn't have a red wire.
