@Alex@Europrice.us Is there any electrical difference between the gloss and matt black versions? My 2020 has matte, and makes sense to replace w the gloss visually. Thanks.

The matte and gloss switches are functionally identical so it's just an appearance difference.

Cheers,

Luckily for the Q7 models it appears these cars are pre-wired and fitted with rear fog lights plus the North American taillight parameters allow for a rear fog light by just adding a new headlight switch. The genuine headlight switch is available here for fairly quick delivery:

Will this switch work on the 2025 Q7?

The 2025 is using the same lower bumper lights and shows the same wiring in the diagrams. So far have not sold to a 2025 owner, but see zero reason that this won't work for the second facelift models.
