        No Vanagon I've ever seen  has the light in that switch EXCEPT
mine.  I put it there years  ago !  The hole is for a light bulb and socket.
Why they put the  hole and circuitry to run that light is beyond me but it
sure is there to light  up the switch rocker.  I forget which VW socket
assembly I used but  probably the same one that is used for the heater control back
light  works.  The circuitry I forget also, but a bit of experimentation
will get  you there.

plug
that goes on the back of the light  switch.  There seems to be a hole in the
front of the plug like a  light goes in it.  Is there supposed to be a lamp
in this plug (to  light up the headlight switch when it is turned on)?  If
so, what is  the lamp for the switch on an 84GL  Vanagon?<<<<<<<<<
