GL and GX trim Datsun 1200s used illuminated electrical switch knobs. In 1973 all USA 1200s adopted the illuminated knobs. B210 also used this as standard fitment in Japan and USA.
Overview
A variable knob was turned to progressively dim the lamps.
H70 Type: Green knobs with words and illumination.
* Wipe Wash knob * Heater Control knob * Cigar Lighter knob * Auto-trans shift indicator lamp
From 1976 * Clock lamp * Radio lamp
Control Switch
A resistor rheostat was used through 1976. This produced significant heat. For 1977 a new active semiconductor rheostat was introduced, which required a 12V feed the switch.

Australia
Australia 1200s use a two-position bright/dim switch built into the Lighting Switch. It is not a rheostat (variable). The knob is twisted (rotated) to use either bright or dim position.
