Ketofa Automatic Headlight Switch for VW Golf MK5/MK6, Jetta & Tiguan — Chrome 5ND 941 431 B, Plug-and-Play Ambient Sensor

The Ketofa chrome automatic headlight switch (part 5ND 941 431 B) is a direct-fit replacement that restores automatic on/off headlight function for compatible VW models with a polished, OEM-style chrome finish.

This replacement module combines a tactile chrome knob and an integrated ambient light sensor to bring reliable automatic headlight control back to Golf MK5/MK6, Jetta MK5, Tiguan, Rabbit and Passat B6 dashboards. Made from durable ABS and PCV/PP materials, the unit is molded to match factory dimensions and markings so it looks and functions like the original switch. It’s designed for plug-and-play swaps without cutting wires, helping you quickly return your vehicle’s lighting system to normal operation.

How does this switch restore automatic headlight operation?

The built-in light sensor continuously monitors surrounding brightness and signals the lighting circuit to turn headlights on or off when levels cross preset thresholds. The switch mounts in the original dash opening and interfaces with the factory connector, preserving all stock wiring and behavior. Because it adheres to original specifications, it integrates with existing vehicle electronics just like the OEM part.

• Integrated ambient light sensor for automatic on/off control
• Factory-compatible pinout and dimensions (5ND 941 431 B)
• Plug-and-play replacement—no splicing or adapters required
