Emergency switch bug 1967 + reverse light

I'm restoring an early 1967 beetle.

In the dashboard there are 2 holes:
1 for the light switch and 1 for the wipers.

does the 1967 model had an emergency switch if no do i need one?

no and no

sweet and what about the white reverse light?

Nope and nope - 67's didn't have a reversing light, and so you don't need one for rego.

Reversing lights didn't come in until 71.

My 70 didn't have them either, but have had to explain all of this every time it's had a roadworthy done...

I have the 1968 lights but with the reverse section on the bottom and so I have them tested every year.. lol
if they didn't work I would have to take them off at rego time..

MY hazard lights only work when the doors are opened..
something to do with My alarm...
the hazard switch isn't connected to My blinkers at present..
but it does flash on & off when the switch is pulled on... lol

PS most mechanics these days know little of past laws etc for older cars... so if You add anything.. make sure it works.. lol

German made 67 Beetles did have seperate reversing lights
made for the USA [north america]
those small rectangular hella lights..
they also had one year only doors with round button door handles.. and vertical headlamps with horn grills [USA]

cheers
