Black Hazard Switch Buttons

Anyone fancy these instead of the red buttons?  Direct replacement.

Easy to fit? Any MOT implications?

I suspect it's a middle vents housing off to get the switch for a swapping over the covers.

Have seen the whole unit for sale in the past on an American site. Did not realise that the button could just be replaced. Does this part just clip onto the switch part?

Had not thought about the MOT question but now you mention it, the way they are heading with all their new rules, bound to be a problem. Maybe it has to be red

So that's top section of centre vent removal... Are hazard lights switches allowed to colour other than red for MOT? I wouldnt like to hazard a guess... Lol might be an easy swap back though...

More info please Alex ;-)

I had to swap it out of my old grille housing and it was very fiddly.

Done some searching on the mot implications and it seems it won't cause any issues.  Doesn't look like its checked at mot.  They just check the indicators and the bulbs.

I can't say how easy they are to fit.  I'll give it a go on a Golf I have in a the moment.  Prob do a guide if its a pain.

Can't imagine it would be to hard once the switch is out, if you need to take the switch out at all... probably would though...

How much we looking at Alex...?

Taking the switch out is easy as there's a little clip you push. You would then have to separate the red plastic cover.

This is the website I came across in the past where the whole unit is available. Would be better to just change the button part if possible as its obviously cheaper. Whole unit seems to be around £20 ish + postage.

They haven't worded it very well, but its just the button rather than the whole unit that they sell.  I can't sell them any less than the $30 they sell them for.  So around the £20 mark.

The button comes off the unit very easily so its a fast swap over.

I'd be up for one of these Alex

Ah, I see.  Thanks for that.

Far as I know it has to flash red, will have a look at work to confirm it
