Hey just in time, I am fixing to rewire my Vert. Any good sources for bulk wire? Thanks Henry

The approved German abbreviations for the colors are in parentheses. Note that any color can be used as a tracer (band, stripe, dots, etc.) to distinguish different wires having the same function. Thus, while brown designates a ground circuit (negative in a normal negative-grounded system), some grounding switch leads might be brown with white bands, brown with pink stripes, etc. Color Abb. Purpose blue (bl) Lead to pilot or warning lights light blue (hb) Lead to pilot or monitoring lights brown (br) (-) Ground lead (31) yellow (ge) Leads for low-beam circuits green (gn) Lead from ign. coil to breaker points gray (gr) Leads to tail/marker/license-plate lights pink (li) Marker color only red (ro) (+) Lead from starter to generator/alternator, to ign. lock, or to any fuse carrying direct battery (30) power. black (sw) (+) Leads from battery to starter, from ign. switch to light switch, or to anything that operates only when ignition is on (15, 54) white (ws) Leads for high-beam circuits A few specifics in VW: Color Purpose white Left high beam circuit white/black Right high beam circuit yellow Left low beam circuit yellow/black Right low beam circuit gray/black Left parking lights (f/r) gray/red Right parking lights (f/r) black/white Left turn signals (f/r) black/green Right turn signals (f/r) More at www.nagl.ch and find the "elektrik" tab under "technik".
