OEX Reverse Light Switch OES Europe ORS177

The OEX Reverse Light Switch OES Europe, part number ORS177, is an electrical switch supplied as each and covered by a two-year warranty. It is listed under electrical parts and engine management, and the product description identifies it as a reverse light switch for European applications.

This is a component where correct identification matters. A reverse light switch needs to match the vehicle’s application and the existing part number, so ORS177 should be checked carefully against the vehicle details before ordering. The unit is supplied by OEX and described as manufactured to OEM specifications.

OEX states that its parts are sourced from world leading OEM and OES manufacturers, with technology adapted for the aftermarket to provide a high level of confidence. That makes the key buying step straightforward: confirm ORS177 and the vehicle listing before fitting, rather than relying on a general switch description alone.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the vehicle application and compare it with part number ORS177. The fitment information supplied references Mercedes-Benz A-Class and B-Class applications, including A-Class model years from 2004 through 2012 and B-Class 2005, so the safest approach is to match the vehicle exactly rather than assume interchangeability across all variants.

Reverse light switches are simple in appearance, but the correct part still depends on the exact vehicle application and component specification. This listing identifies the unit as OEX Reverse Light Switch OES Europe, which is supplied as a switch in each quantity, so it is best treated as a direct replacement only when ORS177 matches the removed part or the confirmed application.

The two-year warranty provides a clear purchasing reference, but it does not replace fitment checking. Use the vehicle details, the reverse light switch application, and the part number before finalising the order. If the existing switch is available, compare the number on the original component with ORS177 and inspect the vehicle listing carefully.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number ORS177 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

OEX Reverse Light Switch OES Europe. Part number ORS177 should be checked first. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number ORS177, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a switch in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed electrical specification should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS, MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS 2004, MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS 2005, MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS 2006. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

The listed warranty is Two Years. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching the vehicle application and part number ORS177 before purchase. The supplied fitment references Mercedes-Benz A-Class and B-Class applications only; if your vehicle is not listed, do not assume compatibility.
