My '67 GTV also a toggle switch to control dash lights.

My '67 US spec Duetto has this switch too, so I assume it was
US only. One odd "feature" of my switch is that if it's set
incorrectly (to the left), the directionals don't work!
I once spent a couple of hours troubleshooting the directional
circuit before I found out the switch to which Sid refers was =

in the wrong position.

My '67 GTV has this also, though I could't verify that it's made
by Bosch, since the car is apart and the map light is currently
misplaced.
