What year front indicator?
m4co - August 25th, 2019 at 09:06 PM

I've got a front guard with a strange looking front indicator.
I'm familiar with the early and late 60's indicators but this one has a peak to it at the top.
Does anyone know what year it's from? Was it only for Australia?

It has a 6v Globe inside

It is not off a beetle - it is a clearance light off a truck or something I think

They were made by Hella as a clearance light but a lot found their way onto beetles via conversions to blinkers for early beetles, Morris Minors and a lot of other vehicles.

There of a 62 1/2 to 64 from memory when they changed to the wider front blinker

It does look to be a truck cab amber marker. It doesn't look like Hella still make them but Narva do.
They pretty much copied the VW style.
