That's a voltage indicator usually from a bad voltage regulator(should be under the backseat) could be a loose wire but it might mean you're no longer charging the battery correctly or at all. check the connection at the starter also.What is the significance of a red light on in a 1965 VW bug?

DON'T DRIVE OR START THE CAR!!!!



Either your generator is shot (or is about to die) or you are out of oil. I beleive on a 65 it is an oil pressure indicator light. Since bugs only hold 2-1/2 quarts, even a drop of a quarter to half a quart of oil (if yours burns oil, as it probably does) can make the light come on.



Simply check your oil and see if the dipstick reads full, or down a bit. If you are low or out of oil and continue to drive the car, you WIILL kill the engine.
generator light on my 71 super is marked by a letter 'g' oil is makred by the word 'oil' high beams are a blue light, and something marked ATF is on there too, which i believe is automtic transmission fluid, though my car is a stick.
