wtb - headlight switch for early beetle


Upon investigating why the park lights in the buggy werent working - assuming fuse or something - established that they were even wired to the switch when it was redone. Then when I tested the switch I found out probably why. It appears cactus.

Does anyone have a headlight switch for a 64 ish beetle - can you buy them new ??

Any info appreciated.

Peter, if it is the round one - does it have the screw terminals or the push-on terminals?
