Odd that they added the switch.  Perhaps that is legacy of the addition (in
1981) of a Camper model.  My 1980 Westy does not have the switch -- it has
a plastic blanking plate.

Speaking of plastic blanking plates, has anybody ever added the above-door
light to a passenger side?  The appropriate hole appears to be there, but it
is covered by a plastic plate as well (despite it being covered by the
headliner).  I was thinking of adding another light there.
