Hi. I've got a 67 bug with a bad headlight switch. I thought it looked like one from a 68 so I bought a new one but its not the same. The websites don't have very good pictures of the different years from what I can find... Hoping somebody can tell me what year this is. Thanks.

I think the only change from '67 to '68 was that the front parking lights stayed on in '68 when you pulled out the switch all the way. '67 turned them off (terminal 57) when you pulled it out all the way.

Note this means they are not fused, and they often burn out. Best to wire it like the '68 lights and have fuse protection.

Check the diagrams here; it's a simple change over.
