For my Zwitter, is this my headlight or wiper switch or none of the above?
I need to get a good book about my car! Thanks

Get the Bentley manual, it covers your car pretty good

it pretty well shows, but I should have mentioned it was two wires. Now what's the headlight switch like?
thanks for the help

the headlight switch is going to have many many wires going to it, like 5 or so, I have to vote for "none of the above" for that switch in your picture, its clearly got a not very VW like knurled & threaded collar for mounting, most likely an accessory switch for fog lights or something, I'm thinking even on a zwitter the wiper switch was mounted in the conventional manner with a propper smooth collar behind the knob and a screw into the bottom of the dash from a bracket on the switch

Yeah, it's an acesory switch - I have a similar one on my car, wired by myself for the fog lights. Even more, even if the ivory button looks like a normal dashboard ivory button - the thread for the ivory button is thinner than the thread on standard dash buttons ( such as headlight switch, found later stock beetles )/

I agree. It's an accessory switch.

There were 2 terminal (and 3) wiper switches for single speed wipers. I have some of each, NOS, in the bag with VW dealer part numbers. But I agree that it could also be an aftermarket accessory switch.
