I didnt see a reverse lighting system of any kind. And really not sure what they mean by warning unless thats the two lights in the gauge.

It will be dropped, most likely air ride in front , I have all the parts. Static drop in rear. At 1st I wasnt going air , but I want to go low when I want and I hate the center adjuster on the beam getting abused when driving it low. Blue interior, blue ragtop, and bright white exterior or a light silver cant decide. I have detailed fuchs 15s in front 16s in rear , 2017 detailed engine with black tins, and blue accents. ( blue an fittings, blue pulleys, blue velocity stacks ) Bad seriers brakes. Freeway flyer from rancho. No stereo, just a stock one in place.

I didn't know dual circuit brakes were even available on vw in 58. Looks like someone replaced with single not long ago.

Is it not a single-circuit?

I have heard many times that the codes can be off a little. May not have came with a DMC the m code might have been added to over the years.

It is a single , and Im sure it never had reverse lighting . Im not sure how true these things are other than the vin #s , The motor is also the original motor according to this certificate.
