I in need of the headlight button that goes in the middle of the pull switch, which I know I can get new. The problem is, I also need whatever the piece of the brake warning button that cleans up the hole in the dash. It's like a black cover that sticks out from the switch to hide the inside of the dash pad. What on Earth is this called and exactly what does it look like. :-k

Please see the pictures to see what I am talking about. I have the warning button, but it just doesn't look right. Maybe I have the part here, but don't recognize it. Could anyone post a pic of just the thing I need for it?

Thanks!!

Looks like you need the cup. Here's an ad that shows a bunch of the parts. Cup is in the top left, complete assembly over mid-right. Shoot that person a PM and pick one up.

With inflation, it may be a fifty cent piece these days.

Yeah but install it with Washington/Jefferson facing out, otherwise it will be for the "tails" lights, not the "heads" lights.

Sorry, terrible joke.

BTW, your Bug is incredible.

That dash pad looks pretty new/clean. Aftermarket? How does it fit? Any problems?

Hmmm a nickel eh? Maybe ill throw a buffalo nickel in there for good luck. It just so happens that along with clocks and watches I collect coins too. :)

Oh and Ty for the compliments! Yes its a new pad from wolfsburg. Overall it fits great. The glove box fits a little oddly, but I can live with that.
