Ahm well, you got me there !  It was just because he was so intent on having the T model switch and I do think I have a couple good used ones.  I still recommend installing a new switch if possible for security.  Plus if the original headlight switch failed due to the over-loaded OEM headlight circuit a headlight relay kit should be installed also.

The switches I have are numbered: 251 941 531 M, they are the only ones available new    I have used them in ALL model Vanagons without any problems.  I know about this switch difference but it does not seem to be a problem installing the M switch in place of the T switch.  I believe I do have some good used T switches but I cannot verify that until I get back home April 24th.
