Speaking from experience. I raided every light switch in 3 yards for my
16v... I smoked 4 inside of 4 months that  i owned the car. THe first time
i smoked ithe switch... the PO had the euros installed and the "worked"
enough not to get stopped. Couldnt see shit with em tho. So I dropped
another one in and it worked about a week, then i lost dash lights...i
figured big deal... until I noticed the no taillights. THis was the case
on every switch until i relayed the lights. Easy way to tellis to put your
finger on the switch if it's hot relay the lights or you'll be ording a
new one from potterman.

Have a nice day..
