Replaced the original headlight switch in my '86 951 just a couple months ago. It had the "lightbulb" 533.01 switch cover.

Couldn't have been. It's pure coincidence that we have Queen Elizabeth's head on our money.

Canada's a bit strange. We use a mixture of imperial and metric units, depending on what is being measured. I think they did a botch job of metrication.

Yeah.... Imperial is standard in America but I see metric slowly permeating the system, although I gather that has been happening for years. Even Ford, a domestic US automaker uses metric, apparently.
