I bought a cheaper light switch off ebay a while back.

Whilst it looks identcal, it's certainly flimsier, not half as much "click" as you change positions on it. But as mine runs relays to control the lights, it doesn't really matter, but if you were using a cheap one wired in the original factory loom, I don't think it would last very long.



Although, all that said, buying a genuine switch from a dealer, they're grossly overpriced.

More than likely a large chunk of that is probably freight costs seeing as most parts come from all out the world. The actual switches worth is probably around 40 and then there is the Orrible' Osbourne VAT rate at 20% added onto that on-top. Rolling Eyes Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
