Default wiper switch console

i'm puting my dash back together on my 70 vert.
the wiper switch bezel (not from my car, could be a later year) has three openings in the face. the top center is for the wiper switch. the other two are below and to each side, and are about 1/2" x 1".
what are these two openings for?
thanks, jeff

Unless I am missing something here, the two hole in the wiper control bezel are the openings for the A/C upper vents. You apparently bought the A/C version of that item...the non-A/C version has "C O R V E T T E" embossed on it where the vents go.
[The headlight warning and seat belt lamps are on the gauge bezel.]

I thought he got his bezel terminology mixed up so I was going by the size of the holes.Could be wrong- sorry if I was.

thanks for the reply
the openings that i'm referring to are below the openings for the a/c vents. i think DW is on the right track. i think that the two openings are for indicator lights, but my wireing harness doesn't have any connections or light sockets that would insert in this area. that's why i thought that the bezel (ebay special) is from a different year, and my aim wouldn't show info on them.
edit-these openings are right below the fan speed and wiper 'push' lettering.

You might want to try ZIP Products [on-line]. I checked out the other aftermarket books and could not find them. Also, you might post a WTB request on the Forum parts section.
