im just finishing off a few thing before the repray on my beetle, and way its a 65...
so my question to you is, would you change the rear number plate light and front blinkers give it an earlier look ?

No.
Only if YOU have a problem with it being a '65.
Other than that there's just no point.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
nah i like it being a 65 the only thing i prefer is the popes nose style number plate light but i cant see me taking away from the originality of the car just over the rear number plate light.

leave it ,paint it ,then start on an early ,then ya got it all:beer:beer:beer
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
do what you want. that's a subtle mod, but one that won't detract from the car. I'm sure there are other mods you are doing too so why not.
I agree with Pete Wood it's your car do what you want.
But me I would leave it as is.

do it.
and while your there, put a whale tail on it for that real period feel 🤘
paint up both a popes nose and a standard one, then you can pick and choose.
paint 2 engine lids too so that the holes are right for each. 😀
^^^ hey thats not a bad idea 😉

thanks for the opinions people i think ill just do another decklid with a popes nose that way i can swap em when ever i feel like it.

Popes noses rock. would look dead ugly on a pope, but on a dub, classic.
I got one with the number plate light on a baja rear scoop thingy. well, its not a scoop, but sits across there like a shortened decklid. Very classy! Go for it mate. Listen to the inner voice.
