Keep your brake lights signaling every stop with the Beck/Arnley Brake Light Switch 201-1087 (also written 2011087). This stop light switch is the electrical trigger that closes the brake-lamp circuit when the pedal is pressed, and it drops in as a direct replacement across a wide range of foreign nameplates — from the 1980-1983 Audi 4000 and 1978-1981 Audi 5000, to BMW models like the 1963-1964 1500 and 1968-1969 2002, the 1965-1977 and 1984-1989 Porsche 911, and many Volkswagens including the 1962-1979 Beetle, 1962-1974 Karmann Ghia, and 1957-1979 Transporter. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full 27-application list.
- OE form, fit and function: engineered to match the original switch on the listed applications.
- Direct wiring fit: made to work with the OE wiring harness and plugs.
- Anti-corrosion terminals: built with materials that include corrosion-resistant terminals for a dependable connection.
- Constructed for durability and application-specific for these vehicles.
If a failed switch is the cause of brake lights that stay on, fail to illuminate, or a cruise-control dropout, this replaces it. Diagnose the circuit before ordering to confirm the switch is the fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this brake light switch do?
It closes the brake-lamp circuit when you press the brake pedal, signaling your brake lights to come on. It can also feed the brake-light input for related systems like cruise control.
Will it fit my vehicle?
It's a direct replacement for the listed applications, including Audi, BMW, Porsche and many Volkswagen models. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact year, make and model.
What are signs this switch may need replacing?
Brake lights that stay on, fail to illuminate, or work intermittently can indicate a failed switch. Diagnose the circuit first, since wiring or the pedal linkage can cause the same symptoms.
Does it match the original wiring?
Yes. It's made to fit the OE wiring harness and plugs and matches OE form, fit and function, with anti-corrosion terminals for a dependable connection.
