I bought this for my 2010 T5.1 but it's no good. My loom has 10 pins and this has 13 but only 9 of them correspond with the loom. When I switch it to sidelights the DLRs stay on which they don't on the original. What's worse is that there's only power to one rear light. At the headlight position, everything is ok at the front but there's still only one sidelight fully illuminated at the rear with a faint glimmer in the other. Put the old switch back in and everything works perfectly. It's an idiot plug so you can't put it in incorrectly.
