Sorry they are not $2 cheapies. Just be sure to compare apples with apples - not all seals are made the same 🙂

I assume you meant the headlight to body seal, but if you are talking about the lens to headlight surround (chrome ring), we have those too, they are cheaper.

damn, i paid $30+ for WCM lense seals a year or 2 ago.

btw you need to change the description to " up to 67 beetle" to suit the aust models.

Yes I mean the rubber seal or gromit that goes between the fender and the actual headlight part.

VVDS can put in over night bag for around $6.00 postage if you want give them a call

they have both head light seals in stock the one for guard and the one for lens

also re furbished head light reflectors and quartz halogen globes to brighten up the 6v lights
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Don't get the lens-to-chrome seal mixed up with the headlight-to-fender seal, like I did. That was half an hour I'll never get back!

Yeah, they're totally different, but I got both kinds sent in the one package & mixed them up without thinking.

I tried to buy some original VW type stickers a few years ago
from a US company..
but they wanted to send them by courier..

I said put them in an ordinary airmail envelope and post them
with a $3 stamp on the envelope...

I don't think they wanted to go to the post office.. lol

LEE

Now You can buy those stickers in Australia.. lol
