how long is it??

they did use the late model type 3 lamp lense which is the long one.. and most easy to find...

but also used a shorter version of it...
[they look the same..]
which would be a Karmann Ghia only part..

I have seen both tail lamp lenses for sale in Australia...
not sure who had them... [vw shows]

if you have the late type 3 lens - easy to get...

If you use LED globes in the indicators behind the red lenses they show amber,
not sure of the legality but they look cool
Step up to get out !!!

RED Blinkers are illegal in all states...

always have been from about 1958....

the first standard FE holdens in late 1956
the stop light used to flash.... lol

same as USA cars in the 50s 60s 70s etc..

My apologies for the lack of info.

I can be contacted on 0401005334

I'm in Canberra, postcode 2600.

I'm not after "Type 3" tail light lense, rather one for the standard "Type 1" '74 Ghia coupe (that is, unless the same lenses can be used on both Types).

Hi Trent,
Postage to Canberra would be $10 extra. Type 3 tail lights (the late ones at least) are the same as the 72-74 ghia tail lights as well.

If you would like to buy these from me, send me a PM with your details of where to send them.

Thanks

Yogie
