That knob looks like it's from a later Type II or III. Should use a bulb physically like this one (I don't recall the "correct" wattage): http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VHD%2DN17%2D7512 A lot of late-model US cars are using miniature bulbs like these now for dash illumination, etc...a good auto parts store should be able to fix you up with something locally.
IIRC, the federal requirement that the hazard-flasher control be illuminated came along in `73, so switches made for those and later cars had a 58b terminal for connecting into the speedo illumination circuit. Older switches did not have this feature. --- tammer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's a 1965 beetle (which I think didn't have hazard > lights?)
