Foot Activated Headlight Dip Switch

This headlight main beam dip switch is a floor-mounted replacement for all Volkswagen Beetles, Splitscreen Buses, and Karmann Ghias manufactured up to 1965. On these early VW models, the driver switched between dipped and main beam headlights by pressing a foot-operated button on the floor rather than using a steering column stalk.

This good quality reproduction faithfully replicates the design and function of the original VW switch, providing smooth, reliable operation. The sturdy metal body and positive-action switch mechanism ensure durability and authentic performance. The unit mounts directly to the floorpan using standard fittings and connects easily to the original wiring harness.

Ideal for restoration projects or period-correct repairs, this floor dip switch restores the traditional control method used in early aircooled Volkswagens, maintaining both functionality and vintage authenticity.
