Yes, every variant of the Hyundai i40 has a brake light switch — it is a standard component on all petrol and diesel versions sold in the UK, fitted to the brake pedal assembly under the dashboard. When the switch fails the brake lights may stop working or stay on permanently, and you may also lose cruise control function if fitted. It is a relatively straightforward part to source from a breaker.
The i40 ran as a single generation from 2011, with a facelift arriving around 2015 that brought exterior and interior updates. The brake pedal assembly and switch location were not fundamentally redesigned at the facelift, so the switch is widely considered compatible across the full 2011–2019 production run, but you should confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration before buying, as minor running changes are possible.
No — the brake light switch sits on the pedal box under the dashboard, which is shared between the saloon and estate body styles. Body style has no bearing on which switch you need, so a switch pulled from either version should be interchangeable, subject to confirming the part number with the breaker.
For the i40 the brake light switch is a pedal-mounted sensor rather than a component that varies with braking hardware, so petrol or diesel and the specific engine size (1.6 or 2.0 petrol, 1.6 or 2.0 diesel) should not affect which switch fits. That said, it is always worth giving the breaker your registration so they can cross-reference the part number and be certain.
No, trim level makes no difference to the brake light switch on the i40. Style, Premium, and SE trims all use the same pedal assembly and switch regardless of the extra equipment each trim carries. You can take a switch from any trim level without concern — just confirm fitment with the breaker using your registration as a final check.
Ask the breaker to confirm the part number against your registration, and check that the connector plug and number of pins match your original switch before fitting, as minor production variations occasionally affect connector design. The switch itself is a low-cost, high-turnover part so breakers in a Hyundai i40 dismantler's stock are a practical and economical option compared to main dealer prices.
