T5,T6,G3,G4 Reversing Light Switch - 5 Speed (2 Terminal)

This 2-pin reversing light switch is fitted to a wide range of Volkswagen 5-speed manual transmissions, where it activates the reverse lights when reverse gear is selected. The switch is mounted directly into the gearbox casing and completes the electrical circuit as the selector mechanism engages reverse.

Failure of the reverse light switch is common and typically results in no reversing lights, intermittent operation, or lights that only work when the gear lever is held in a specific position. Replacing the switch restores correct and reliable reverse light function and is often required for MOT compliance.

Manufactured to original specification, this switch features the correct M20 x 1.5 thread, 2-pin electrical connector, and sealing design for a direct, leak-free fit.
