When I had my Contemporary Cobra, the high/low beam headlight switch was located at the end of the directional stalk. It worked great as long as the VW latching relay stayed together. It didn't matter if it was a German Bosch or a NAPA Mexico relay, for some reason the top always separated from the base and it would stop working. I eventually started using zip ties to keep them together. In the Hi-Tech, my quest for originality led me to go with a NOS Lucas footswitch. The switch works fine, I just can't get my foot there!! If I were to do it again today, I would put the footswitch in only for looks but go back to the switch in the directional stalk for accessibility reasons. After over 2,000 miles, this is the only thing I would change...
