Yep. All one (expensive) unit. The main reason these switches fail is oxidation of the contacts, leading to overheating and melting of the plastic. VW puts the whole current going to the headlights through the switch, so the best method to preserve your replacement switch is to put relays into your headlight circuitry. Also note that 91 Vanagons use a different switch than earlier years.
