These are on an un-restored 54. The little tab at the bottom where the light is screwed to the body curls back under. Correct for 54 only apparentlynn[ Edited on 8-9-2005 by 65busser ]

For correctness you need to have the adjusting screws at 9 and 12 oclock on the headlight rim.

But if you have early early Hella headlamps, then the adjusting screws are at 4 and 8 o'clock.
John I thought they were for the later headlights 56 on

Thanks for all the info people, in fact I have 2 54's and one has this glass and one has the other kind with the VW logo.
I just wanted to really know what these were. I knew about the logo ones being correct but not these.
I am after 4 correct chome surrounds for them as both of mine have major dents and scuffs on them, if anyone knows where I can get the correct ones with the tab that would be great, I will check on the ones I have for srcew position,
Thanks

ur lenses seem to have the Bosh logo
all good
now Dave the 12 to 6 o'clock position of the srews is so no snow settles in it and water can easily dry out thus preventing the 1100 cc not to have to carry extra water or snow (in Europe and Nth America . lol

l.o.louder how can it be 9 to 12 o'clock postion or do you mean 9 minutes to 12 ?? ha ha

have some Kombi lenses like that , he he
