I am nearly finished with installing the new wiring harness in my 56 Euro Beetle. I have 2 questions since I bought the car already taken apart. First, the wiper switch terminals are not marked like the ignition switch and the light swtich. Which terminal is which?
Second, am I missing something that goes in the center of the headlight reflector that the little headlight bulb plugs into and are there supposed to be running lights on a Euro Beetle? If so, does it go in the smaller hole just below the center hole in the reflector?
Thanks

The wiper switch is just an on and off switch, it doesn't matter how you wire it up just make sure you have one live power wire going to it and the other to the positive side of the motor on the wiper assembly Unless you have the automatic home switch that puts the blades back where they live and out of the way of the drivers sight but still simple to wire up.

The head light you have is missing the whole assembly that holds two bulbs, the headlight bulb and the driving light
