Window switches

[ManIAK]

They light up in 197's, but in 200's don't...

Are the switches the same in the 197/200 if so im replacing them..

 

[Raptor6767]

No, they dont light up in my 200 either. They must of left the bulbs out to save weight? LOL

Or to reduce costs...

 

[blackpanther]

Or to reduce costs...

Yeah or both,
They are pointless, who needs them anyway?
Ive managed for over a year now and i didn't even notice.

As asked im sure the 197 and 200 switches will be the same and someone will end up putting bulbs in to make them work. (cant be that hard)
Question is is it really worth it? (no)

 

[Raptor6767]

Just had a look and yes, my switches light up too...

So thats another thing my 197 has that the 200 doesn't

1: 5 seats and not 4, check
2: xenons, check
3: illuminating window switches, check

197 have more things on it than 200.

The same thing is with the Mazda 3 MPS after 2009 - only drivers window is automatic - cost reduction.


A friend of mine owns a Mazda dealership.

I find it funny that the 200 costs more than what a 197 brand new was, yet comes with less stuff lol

Makes you wonder what else they have left out.

If this kind of reducing costs is in service of rising the build quality, I have no problem with that - but from what I can read (that Clio 200 owners write) - it doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately.

So you get the car with less equipment and basically the same problems with the higher price.
