Nope... only got 1 spare... but I do recommend you relay the headlights and running lights.

When you pick up a new headlight switch, take the time to relay the headlights, as well as the running lights. Even with my headlights relays my switch still ran hot and burnt out... put a relay on the running lights/instrument light circuit and now there is no load on the switch at all. Cheap insurance... never know when the switch could fail.

Will do. I've been gathering info on relaying the lights.

Mine got so hot it melted where it sits in the instrument cluster.

Ive got one if you want...

My emails eurotuned85@yahoo.com, let me know if you still need it. Also the relay info should be on Huw Powells site. You can find it through the link on Audifans.
