I'm familiar with how that was done on pre-68 beetles, but I can't quite see it on type 3s. I've looked at the microfilm and I can't see it there, either. I'm assuming this would require a non sealed beam headlight. Was there a hole in the bottom of the reflector where the parking lamp bulb poked in? Surely there were non US destinations that got sealed beams, however. > Two of the reasons is that 1) the parking light must have white light. > 2) the turn signal must be dark when not in use, so when the bulb blinks > the light housing is dark in between the blinks for more contrast.
