Found in my box of goodies a driving/ fog light switch which looks new. Anyway it's an ugly kinda faded orange looking color. Is this for early or late cars? Thank you.

I differ with some replies above, as I've done a lot of research on this for my early 73 2L's resto, & the "Amber" is 74 - 76 & Green is 70 - 73, with some mixing in the late 73 & early 74 cars when both were in the parts bin. Same switch component - just a different bezel insert AFAIK.
p914.com has excellent info on this sort of what MY stuff folks, but nothing on the fog light switch AFAIK. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

VW didn't care, what ever was still in the bin got used in many cases. VW mid year changes were always because they had too many parts left over. This happened right from the 1940's till likely the time supply became automated. |
