Is there any aftermarket taillights for a 71 beetle,
not smoked ones but clear chromy ones.

You could ask Rob where he got his from. They are clear white lens with chrome underneath, if that makes sense.

I can't remember seeing any...

as in the USA... 1971--72 beetles had different tail lamps to the ones We have... they are about 40-50mm longer but same shape...

so, You would really be looking for clear tail lamps from a 1968-70 beetle with the reverse lamp in the bottom...

or if they are clear... the reversing lamp at the bottom won't matter...

cheers

PS: the reason i know this, is that I bought a pair of rubber base gaskets for the 1971 beetle tail lamps....
