Original fit switches had a headlight symbol on,I understand that new switches from BMW require you to be able to remember where the switch is....

I can't recall ever seeing any trace of a symbol on an E30 lighting switch, the diagrams in the handbook don't show one, and there is an illuminated symbol just above the switch, so there is no reason for one to be on the switch itself.

From memory, I'm sure I've seen one with a logo on in the past but never come across one myself on any of the breakers

None of mine have ever had them on. Would look gash IMO like something from a vw beetle

e30topless said : Proper BMW's have 4 headlights, last of the run was the E30 and E34/E32 anything after that is just complete shite

All the ones I've ever held, seen or licked, has never had ANY sign of any emblem having ever been on it. It's a new thing and it's not required thank you!
