Wiper switch with intensive cleaning

Hi all! I just bought a wiper switch with intensive cleaning function (part number 61318375408) on eBay, and I am planning to replace my regular switch (61318363669) with this one. Just want to know that if it is just a simple swap to enable intensive cleaning function. Do I need to modify anything else? Thanks alot for help with hands on ground!!!!

Can you post a photo of the two switches? I had no idea there was two of these and would like to see what they both look like. Thanks.

Sure! Here are the pictures. The switch with a 'S' button is for intensive cleaning.

The intensive cleaning system is mainly for the headlamps but it also automated the windsheild wash giving a couple of squirts at intervals with just one touch of the S button.

It looks like a direct swap in terms of fitting but the "S" switch is not likely to do anything on your car without also retrofitting the rest of the intensive cleaning system.

That would be my guess too. If your car doesn't already have the headlight washers then it won't do anything there. It would be interesting to know if the cycling function will work on just the windshield wipers though.

You might need to install the entire setup like this:
