This part is specifically listed for compatibility with select models.

Features and Construction

The switch is built with practical materials and specifications suited to modern automotive use.

Material and Build

The housing is made from electronic ABS, a plastic known for its impact resistance and dimensional stability in varying temperatures. The electroplated finish adds a reflective, metallic-like surface that resists tarnishing and matches the aesthetic of interior or exterior chrome accents. The Black colour option integrates with darker trim panels.

It operates on a standard 12V power supply, matching the voltage typical of most passenger cars. The switch mechanism is self-contained, requiring only connection to the vehicle's electrical harness.
