Used Hyundai i20 Brake Light Switch

Yes, every Hyundai i20 has a brake light switch — it sits on the brake pedal bracket and tells the car when the brakes are being applied, activating the rear brake lights and, on later models, interacting with cruise control and stability systems. This applies to all engine sizes and trim levels across the range, so there is no variant of the i20 that was sold without one.

These two cars sit in different generations — the first-generation i20 ran from 2008 to 2014, while the second-generation model launched in 2015 and ran through to around 2020, so a 2013 switch and a 2018 switch are unlikely to be a straight swap. The pedal box and switch mounting can differ between generations, meaning the connector plug or thread may not match. Confirm with the breaker that they can cross-reference the part number against your registration before buying.

For the i20, engine size makes no meaningful difference to brake light switch fitment — the switch sits on the pedal assembly and is common across the petrol and diesel engine variants within the same generation. What matters is getting the right generation of car, not whether you have a 1.0, 1.2, or 1.4 engine. Tell the breaker your year and registration and they can confirm the correct part.

Trim level does not affect brake light switch fitment on the i20 — Classic, SE, Active, and Premium all share the same pedal box setup within a given generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the area around the pedal bracket depending on specification, but the switch itself is the same part. Any used switch from the correct generation should be suitable regardless of which trim the donor car carried.

The first-generation i20 covered 2008 to 2014, with a facelift introduced around 2012 that refreshed the exterior but did not fundamentally alter the pedal gear. Switches from within that generation are generally likely to be compatible, but because some detail changes can occur across a facelift, it is worth asking the breaker to check part numbers against both registrations before confirming the sale. Never rely on year alone without that cross-reference.

The second-generation i20 ran from 2015 onwards and introduced a revised platform and interior layout compared to the 2008–2014 first generation, so the brake light switches from these two generations are not expected to interchange directly. Connector types and switch geometry differ enough that fitting across this boundary is not straightforward. Route this question to the breaker with both registrations so they can compare part numbers before you commit to a purchase.
