The one in my VP calais doesn't, it never has since I've owned the car, but never tested to see if it had power going to it or not. I assume its meant to come on when the switch is operational, ie when the ignition is on? Or is it when the headlights are on?

The only drama with the vs switch in the vn handle is that if you use your old handle is that the hole is cut for the old switch so it will leave a gap on the edges when you modify it to fit the new switch.
I got a rear door handle which is exactly the same as the front dimension wise and cut a hole in it for the switch being careful not to make it too big especially the righthand bottom corner where the there is not much edge to hid any mistakes.....worked for me.

Hi All
What Model Mirror switch is recommended here in this change over ?
In My Vn Wagon I also dont have the little light working but if there is power to the switch you should need only replace the bulb. Make sure you use a multi-meter to check for voltage first and then to check the globe to make sure its also a good globe.
Cheers

if you check the connections for the switch, the little light wont even be wired up.

I have a 'couple'
My light in my VR doesn't work either - even with another switch. Anyone found out if they actually have power? I notice on the wiring loom there is an empty space.
