It's the Generator (or alternator, depending on what your car has) light. If it comes on, the car isn't charging.
The most common reason a VW stops charging is that the alternator belt broke. This belt drives the cooling fan so you need to get to the side of the road and check the engine if this light comes on.
on drivers side of trans 1 wire
On my 71 beetle the battery is located under the backseat.
The 1975 regular Beetle windshield will fit the 1971 Super Beetle.
The windshield on the super beetle (and all super beetles) is rounded and makes a little dash board. The regular beetles windshield is flat and has no dash. Irgleloid Not true '71 and '72 Super beetles still have flat windshields, the curved windshield on a super beetle started in 1973 and also had non flat bigger plastic dashboard.

No,71 and 72 superbeetle hoods are longer than 73 and later,that have round windshield and 71 and 72 have flat windshield,by the way the hood is longer than 73 and later.
Yes. An IRS Type 1 transmission is the same across the Type 1 line.
I am rewiring a 71 super beetle. So far I have connected one of those half as wide connectors on a red wire to the K lug on that little light. Black power wire coming from a green wire on the emergency flasher pin #15 should connecto to the little #15 lug. A Blue wire should connecto to the little #61 lug. This wire comes from main harness and GEN warning light on speedo. One or all of these wires with tiny connectors should ne hanging around in there somewhere. Good luck.
The later Bugs were usually on the left front side under the fender.
No, the super beetle had rack and pinion steering and macpherson stut suspension. The standard had torsion tubes where the steering box mounted. sorry totally different.
