Re: side markers and RH mirrors


Type-3 Friends,
I haven另 read my mail for a few days and aparently there was an
interesting discussion I missed.
My comments on the side parking lights: The difference between the
Euro and US spec is clear now but the European T3s had the internal
parking light only the last 2 years. Before that there is this little
two-colour lamp sitting on the front fender on either side.
The legal requirements in the US require a totally different wiring
setup (also mentioned before). In Germany the turn light lever
activates the turn lights when the ignition is on and activates the
parking light when the ignition is off. No interaction between the headlamp switch and the parking light.
Re RHS mirror: again most things already said. One thing to add 
maybe the fact that the beetle mirror also fits in this hole in the
door (if provided). I have seen various RH mirrors with different 
"necks" and also diffrent mirror shapes. Once I had a Sqb where the
PO fitted a Bus mirror (year 68-79 fits also in this mysterious hole)
For models wich don另 have this hole there are aftermarket mirrors
wich have the VW style but a larger flat foot and are fixed with
three small screws from the outside.
