I need a side light switch and front fog lamp switch if anybody can help and I still need the front bonnet release lever.

The switches are from an old style Vectra - come up all the time on ebay - just need to get the right no. of pins version and swap the cover over

The air-con switch is the same as our headlight/sidelight/fog light switch.
The heated screen switch has a different pin arrangement.
The air-recirculation switch has a different plastic pin orientation.

Nice tip people. I live not far from a Vauxhall breakers near Whipsnade so will pop along on Sunday, they want £2.50 per switch. One is to replace a dud headlight switch, the oter is to go where the front fog switch would go (coz I am a pauper and dont have front fogs) and will switch the ABS on and off.

I have a few blankers if you would want to try one, then no need to wire up the ABS switch in the main cabin, leave it under the front bonnet. I have instructions and exact parts required for doing this somewhere. Up to you. FYI, if you don't already know then switching the ABS off/on with the ignition on could cause problems (based on some posts here) To re-activate the ABS then you need to turn the ignition off anyway

Cheers Ouchie but want to have the switch in cabin and lit up looking real pro(ish). I know it can bugger things up but I will use ABS on road and switch off on track (and maybe in the summer).
