What are you after, genuine or replica switches? Most are replicas from China, I think.

The switches are the same for both LHD and RHD. You just need to look for quality items. If you buy genuine items you won't need to worry, they'll work well and look nice. DamoP sells them cheaper than Bold Sport, btw.

For replicas I'd look for the feedback left from previous buyers.

For example, this set from ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191096190792?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT has a headlight switch with shiny chrome. I prefer the matte chrome from the genuine that you can see in the Bold Sport set: http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=43_39_62&product_id=84 .

You can find replicas just like the one from Bold Sport in www.aliexpress.com . Just choose sellers with many sells and good feedback.

You should also get the fuel door switch: http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=43_39_62&product_id=107 .

Ive been looking at some recently and noticed some of them have a glossy chrome effect and some have a matt chrome effect.

Does that show if they are genuine or replicas?  The glossy ones seem to look cheapy

the brighter/glossy ones are fakes. the cheap switches throw up errors on the car
