This is the best shot help video I’ve watched for being able to see what’s happening. Normally you just get “remove trim” which leads to me snapping clips! You’ve explained how to pull the trim off properly which is really useful. Great video
Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it! I’m working hard to keep improving! 😁
Excellent video and the process was exactly as described! Thank-you!
Thanks so much! 😎 cheers, Phil
Really helpful and clear video with detailed explanation. Excellent tip about taping over the horribly sticky secondary wiring!
Thank you! 👍
Thanks for posting this video, it's the clearest one I've seen. The tips for trim removal / replacement and taping over the denatured foam are excellent.
One question I have is whether the battery needs to be disconnected or not to change the switch. Other videos are edited in a way that makes it look like the battery was not disconnected, though they don't say if it was or not.
Hi, thanks for the comment! No, I didn’t disconnect the battery for this but there is no harm in doing so if you prefer 👍 Thanks, Phil
Wow... very good instruction. !! Well done. Step by Step. I watched a few videos for the same thing. WOW.. .what a difference..!
Thanks so much! Yes, sometimes I watch videos and I can’t see properly or they skip steps etc. I always try my best to avoid that in my vids. Takes more work but great to see it is appreciated. Thanks for the kind words. 😊 thanks, Phil
Excellent video. Thanks
This switch always wear off. Is it possible to repair this switch?
Hi, I’m pretty sure you can’t repair them. I have heard that some people get a little bit more life out of them by spraying electrical contact cleaner in and then letting it dry before refitting. Yes, it’s a pain how often they fail!
Would the switch also be the root cause where the detent part on it for the fog lights not staying on when pulled back for operation, or is it the piece that you pull back on?
Lights work fine but won't stay on because of the detent issue.
I'm really sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I was actually just fixing this problem for a friend, so only ever did the work as shown in the video. Hope you get it sorted. Thanks, Phil
@@ReviveMyRide All good! After getting a new switch, it did fix the issue with the fog light detent. Thanks also for the video on how to get it removed!
