This is a standard feature in all since at least 68; bugs MAY be the 
same. The lens is a 3 position switch: 
push rear, always off
centered, on with open door
push front, always on

Starting in 71 the drivers door used a 4 contact switch (2 for the 
buzzer.) All others use the old 2 contact switch. Beetles use the 
same 2 switches in the same years.
