A simple upgrade that can make a huge difference in safety and drivability for your early VW.
This replaces the factory-style 2-wire brake light switch with a faster-responding pressure switch that activates your brake lights with less pedal effort. Many replacement switches on the market today react slowly or inconsistently, causing extra pedal travel before the brake lights come on.
Older Volkswagens already have smaller tail lights compared to modern vehicles, so getting the brake lights illuminated sooner can help improve visibility to drivers behind you. Vehicles converted to disc brakes often experience even slower brake light activation, making this upgrade especially useful.
We use a genuine Drag Specialties switch manufactured in Poland for Harley-Davidson applications. Motorcycle switches are designed to activate at lower pressure, which helps trigger the brake lights earlier than typical VW replacement switches.
Fits:
Bug, Bus, Type 3, Thing, and many kit cars using a 2-wire hydraulic brake light switch.
Includes:
(1) Genuine Drag Specialties pressure brake light switch.
Off highway use only.
