I just googled the problem and it gave me some info, but i need to make sure its correct. I dont want to replace the part and it be something else. There was a recall on vw for the brake light switch, but I'm not sure about the other things. I've had my VR for about 1 year with harldy no issues, but I can't be driving at night with no headlights. Hey try to google the issue and see what you come up with. Here are the links I found for my issue.
