If it's any help, my Mk IV (1974) has the switch with the two logos facing 
left. The logos are almost worn off so I think the switch is probably 
original.

Headlight Switch






Dear All,

If I haven't posted for a while, it is because I have been working on 
Carly (whose MOT expires tomorrow).   I've put in over a hundred hours 
of work so far this year, and she still needs a bit of welding to get 
her right. :-(

My question for you all this evening relates to the rocker switch in the 
middle of the dashboard.   Carly is a November '77 car (FM105671), with 
the TR7-style controls on the steering column.   The light switch which 
she has had since I got her has three positions: Off; Sidelights Only; 
and Headlights/Sidelights.   The switch itself bears only a single logo, 
that of a headlight, facing right.   The replacement switch I have just 
bought is also a three position switch, but has two logos (facing left), 
for each of the two different "On" positions.   The books suggest that 
she should have a simple On/Off rocker switch with a single logo.   What 
is really correct?

Enquiring minds want to know...
