2014 Headlight Switch

I'm looking for the part number for a 2014 headlight switch. All I've seen online are the earlier version with the "Off" position that my car doesn't have. Checked FPC and some of the usual online places and none of them appear to offer the part I need.

Help?

Maybe take a pic, my 2014 has an off position - what does yours actually look like?

I’ll snap a pic when I’m home later. The switch has the following positions, clockwise from the leftmost:

left parking
right parking
running lights
auto headlights
headlights “on”

There is no “O” or off position on the switch at all but I’ve seen it on some models. Do you have the intelligent lighting package or whatever they call it?

Ok apparently I have no idea what my switch looks like, swear it had an off but maybe was my previous C63, I have the lighting package and no off position.

Why not just pop it out and get the part number off the back - there are 3 different switches it seems

150 LIGHT SWITCH 001 A 20 490 533 04 - $163.39 150 LIGHT SWITCH 001 A 20 490 534 04 - $163.39 150 LIGHT SWITCH 001 A 20 490 535 04 - $162.45



Searching around it seems to be the last number is the one without an off position as the pics that come up are mostly without off - A2049053504

Interesting, I never found any but the one from, I'm guessing, PFL cars with the off position. I don't remember which of the three parts listed above it was. When I search for the last part number, it doesn't turn up in any of the normal US based places I usually order from online, that makes me go hmm. Guess I'll pull the switch and see what it says on the back, that's a good idea.

I wonder if the central knob assembly can be extricated to work with the switch surround that has only the single large rear foglight button but that's not something I'll gamble on. The listed part number doesn't appear at FCP Euro either so I'm immediately suspicious that it's not the right bit.

I'll have to wait for the weekend and take the switch out as Rob suggested above and get the right part number to search for.

The other choice is someone with EPC access could do a VIN search and it will return the headlight part number only for your vin. I tried mine on realoem.com but their EPC didn't find my VIN, so maybe isn't real up to date.

its a 212 part number. I pm'd you based on your vin. You guys can't rely on these free parts sites to actually filter things properly. Legit epc software is the king. Already have AMG GT black series p/n in the system. Who wants a flat plane crankshaft? lol

I got your PM. The 212 part number is odd; no wonder the regular sites can't identify that as a 204 part.

So to close the loop on this in case anyone has the same problem down the road and searches for a solution, the replacement headlight switch fixed the issue.

Thanks @roadtalontsi for the research help and pulling the part from his parts car too.
