Default cruise disconnect switch xr8

Just fitting the manual pedal box to my s3 xr8 and I cant seem to find a plug for the cruise disconnect switch to plug into.
Theres only one spare blue plug but its totally different,can see them both in the pic



Any chance I need a different switch or are they all the same.?

Im converting from auto to manual.
Cheers

Dude that would be awesome,ive just found the wiring schematic in the tech section which says the clutch switch goes to a green and red and a green and white wires(plug)
I have found a blanked off plug(plug fitted but with a looped over wire) fitting the description at the firewall where im assuming the cruise module wiring goes through,maybe there is a short wiring harness to connect this to the clutch pedal switch?
ill put up a pic of said plug.
Im **** at electrics...

It has the same colour wires but the plug is different,im hoping theres a harness I can buy to connect the two,the wreckers has already gotten rid of the car I got the bits from:(
It was actually taped up to the harness so its out of the way,the male plug that's plugged into it just has a looped over piece of wire ,it doesn't go anywhere but its hard to see,my neck was cramping up trying to take pics!

Here is the pedal box, you can see the wire coming out of the disconnect switch ending in a white plug



Here is the cruise control loom. You can see just as it enters the car through the firewall there is a plug with bridged wires





You remove the bridged plug and plug the one out of the clutch switch straight in



The cruise control loom is out of an auto XR6 so yours will look identical.

That's the one.
All these little bits and pieces ive gone back to the wreckers to get,ive been lucky to get them,the car got crushed last week,he had bits from other cars luckily.
At least people can look up this thread and find those little bits of info that get left out in other conversion threads.
