Volks, I just acquired an NOS Hella Fog Light Installation Kit, ostensibly for VW Sedan from August 1967 on. Just right for my 1970, I tell myself. (Got it from Wolfsburg Warehouse in Vancouver, WA, a strange mail-order operation.)
It's beautiful, has some great brackets that mount behind the bumper bolts, a relay -- and a VW-looking dashboard knob with a nice graphic of a fog light on the plastic illumination window. Trouble is, the plastic window in the knob lights up *maroon*, not green. I'd always thought that DIN required a *green* illuminated pilot light for fog lights. The knob I was originally going to use -- with the 1966-67 type black rubber head -- has a green window. Does anybody know when German standards began requiring a green pilot light for foglights? Was it after 1970 maybe? My new knob looks great with the 1970 dashboard -- matches the big round knobs with the serrations around them -- but maroon?? Aargh.
