This replacement headlight switch is designed for Volkswagen Beetles from 1958 to 1967 and Early Baywindow Buses from 1968 to 1970. It’s a high-quality reproduction of the original multi-terminal lighting switch, allowing full control of the vehicle’s lighting circuits, including sidelights, headlights, and dash illumination.
The switch features four main connection points with clearly marked terminal designations:
30 (x3 spade terminals) – Main power input from the battery
56 – Power output to the headlight circuit
58 – Power output to side/tail lights
58b – Power output to dash illumination
Manufactured to OEM standards, this switch provides smooth and reliable operation with the correct internal resistance and switching positions, ensuring compatibility with original VW wiring looms. It mounts directly into the original dashboard opening and connects via standard spade terminals, making installation straightforward.
Ideal for restorations or electrical refurbishments, this headlight switch restores correct lighting control and reliability to your vintage VW.
