I hoping someone here maybe able to help me track down an interior light delete (see image below) to suit my 1965 standard beetle.

I know they are extremely rare but on the off chance someone here has one OR know someone that may have one please let me know.

Willing to pay good money.

Cheers!

Hi
YES
they are VERY RARE...

Most would have been thrown away when an actual light was wired up..

T3 had similar, but mine were black. Maybe earlier had white or brown.

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

Really?!

Have been on the hunt for one for 12 months now and haven't had any nibbles at all. Let me know if you find it, regardless of the condition I'll take it!

After a good couple of years of hunting it appears I may have finally found myself a genuine interior light blank for my standard beetle. I'm planning on making a cast and producing a small run if there is enough demand. Any takers? And what would be a reasonable price?
