someone tell me what this...

My year car 9/71 seems to have a lot of "transitional issues" because of the build date. The car was originally a CA car which might make a difference. I have read that 9/71 they had pockets for the seatbelts but mine does not.

Mine does have the pockets. What's the VIN? Is the car registered as a 71 or 72?

The small hole, as shown in his picture, was intended (in the early cars) for a switch to turn on/off the fog/driving lights. The cigarette lighter is in the center console next to the fuse block and it won't fit in that small hole.

If you look at the wiring harness behind the dash, there are two connections taped to the harness. The harness is already pre-wired for the lights. But, many cars never used the fog/driving lights.

Enrique has an awesome write up about wiring the fog-lights... In fact, it was so good, I moved it to our technical articles forum. Here's the link:
