A window switch might fit but it would be too ugly. The hazard switch is too small.

The Euro 964s did have a headlight aiming switch so that is one option but it seems odd to have a non-functioning switch there, plus I bet Porsche wants a fortune for a new one.

Is there really a Euro coin holder available?

That is true! But only ROW cars have the headlight height adjustment. Not the US cars! The dashboard on US cars have just the contours of the switch moulded in the dashboard, someone have cut a hole in the dashbord in this tread so Porsche are right when they say You must buy a new dashboard to make the car original again.

That's small enough that with a little care and precision you could fabricate or 3-D print a blank cover.

As said it's a RoW headlight levelling switch std fitment. Hole used for the batt. cut-off pull on track cars and on some RS cars. This may work :-

Thanks for the part number - I might give that a try.

Worst case I could buy the RoW headlight leveling switch but I hate having things in my car that don't actually work.

Let me know if you retrofit the headlight actuation mechanism in to the US car.

The motors are shared by a VW Golf MKIII and are Bosch part number 0307852311, as given to me by Geolab. The biggest issue is that the wiring harness from the switch to the motors does not exist in the US car.
