Signal the car behind you the instant you press the pedal with the Beck/Arnley Brake Light Switch 201-1901 (also written 2011901). This switch drops in as a direct replacement for foreign-nameplate applications including the 1996-1997 Audi S6, 2000-2006 Audi TT and TT Quattro, 2004 Porsche Cayenne, 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, and 1999-2003 Volkswagen EuroVan — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Mounted at the brake pedal, the switch opens and closes the brake-lamp circuit as the pedal moves, telling the brake lights when to illuminate. If a failed switch is the cause of brake lights that stay dark, stick on, or flicker, this replaces it.
