Internal light switch

[Scallywag too]

The rocker switch on one of my interior lights has broken is it possible to fit a new switch or do I need to buy a complete new light Bav 40 (2001)

I think you should post a photo, so maybe someone could help you. Here in germany are many shops to get spare parts especially electricians from third partys

You can get switches from RS Components that fit (not identical, but they fit).

Yes, you can buy the switches separately. Can't help with a supplier as I bought mine from a chandler in Corfu. Very fiddly things to fit and some of mine have been replaced with push buttons which fit the same holes in the surrounds. Don't look as good but work better.

You mean this


The friend of mine told me that developer is from Germany. I'll try to get more info.

This might be close enough...

Maplin have a range of rocker switches you can choose from, I've replaced three of the light switches on my Bav 36 (2002). I did need to enlarge the hole in the side of the light fitting by about a millimetre in diameter and did this with the aid of a small rotary grinder attachment fitted to a Dremel electric hand tool. The new switches have worked fine since fitting them a couple of years back.

Hope it is okay to open this old post. We have these exact same rocker switches on all of our silver lights onboard our 2002 Bavaria 40. Can anyone post a link to purchase a replacement switch that fits? We have one broken switch in the v-berth and we are heading to Mexico, so would like to get a few spares also! Thanks!
