Product Description
The Sebring SWITCH REVERSE LIGHT 2PIN is a compact electrical switch designed for activating the reverse lights in select Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. This reverse light switch is essential for ensuring your vehicle signals correctly when shifting into reverse, enhancing safety for both the driver and surrounding traffic. With a robust plastic housing and a 2-pin connector, it is engineered for a reliable fit and secure electrical connection.
This switch is compatible with a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including certain Golf, Jetta, Beetle, and A3 models from the late 1990s to mid-2000s. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.

If you notice these symptoms, replacing the reverse light switch is recommended to restore proper signalling and maintain road safety. Installation typically involves accessing the transmission housing and swapping the faulty switch for the new unit.
