Used Alfa Romeo 159 Brake Light Switch

The Alfa Romeo 159 was produced as a single generation running from 2005 to 2011, so a 2006 and a 2010 car share the same underlying platform and the brake light switch is very likely to be compatible. That said, confirm the part number against your registration with the breaker before buying, as minor running changes can occur across a production run. Never assume fitment without checking.

The brake light switch on the 159 is part of the pedal box assembly and is not directly dependent on engine size or brake specification - it is a universal fitment across the range regardless of whether you have a 1.9, 2.0, 2.2 or 3.2 engine. This means you do not need to match the switch to your specific engine variant. Confirm the part number with your breaker against your registration to be sure.

Trim level does not affect brake light switch fitment on the 159 - whether your car is a Lusso, Ti, or any other trim, the switch itself is the same part. Trim differences on the 159 relate to interior specification and cosmetic features, not to the pedal box or brake switch. Any cosmetic differences you notice on a used part are purely superficial and do not affect function.

The brake light switch operates in the pedal box, which is shared between the saloon and Sportwagon estate body styles - the body style does not alter this part. A switch from a Sportwagon should therefore be directly interchangeable with a saloon, and vice versa. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations to be safe before purchasing a used part.

The Alfa Romeo 159 received a facelift around 2008-2009 that refreshed styling and some equipment levels, but the brake light switch sits in the pedal box and was not a component typically revised in such updates. It is therefore likely that a pre- or post-facelift switch will interchange, but because mid-generation changes can occasionally affect components like this, you should confirm compatibility with the breaker quoting both registrations. Do not assume fitment across any production boundary without checking.

Findapart connects you with UK vehicle dismantlers (breakers) who can quote on used Alfa Romeo 159 brake light switches salvaged from cars being broken for parts. When requesting a quote, give your full registration so the breaker can confirm the correct part for your specific car. Buying used from a reputable breaker is a cost-effective alternative to a new dealer part, and many breakers can advise on compatibility before you commit.
