And don't forget your fuel flap switch. Door card off though I'm afraid, right PITA.   :laugh:

Not for me!  :ashamed:

Found it a pain to get the door cards off so had Eddie-NL switch them over while having my LED door warning lights fitted. The others are all a 10 minute job with some trim tools.

They are VERY cheap fella, the ones in the link. The ones i purchased were over £100 for a 3r set inc. Headlight switch and Fuel Flap switch.

It's meant to be possible to change the fuel flap switch without taking the door card off. I'll find out when I change all my switches after I get them for Crimbo!

^^^^ had this discussion with a few peeps (including Eddie-NL when he changed mine) and is "possible" if you remove all the screws (including the ones holding the handle to the door) and pop the bottom lugs out and a few up the sides and you can squeeze your hand underneath the lever the switch out. Some peeps have tried to lift the plastic surround that is around the switch put it won't lift enough as its attached to the door card from behind and will break off if forced. Is all a PITA though, easier to take the door card off.

Fair enough, I'll bear that in mind when I try and change mine.

Yeah, it was a fail (for me) as I couldn't get the lugs undone. Some may have better luck bending the door card.  :ashamed:

holy sh*t man, because there is a little notch at the end of the normal switches I thought something would clip on and house there.
so am I right in thinking I would have to take ALL the door panels off if I bought the set ?
and what about the headlight switch, panel off again ?
also would any coding be required after install

No coding, and only trim off around the switches for window switches, headlight switch pops out easily and fuel switch requires the door card to come off

window switch on every door, is it just that bollard it sits on that pulls of then on each door
isn't the fuel switch in the middle console, sorry to cold to go outside and check
also I guess the buttons illuminate like the standard ones ?
are these easy for noob to fit
