76 beetles had them as standard.

Morris Mini Minor headlight buckets will fit in the hole with a minimum of fiddling. I've done it to 3 cars so far. They cost about $30 each with sealed beams and you get a good set of lights. You will need to add a coupe of small parking lights.

right ok! you mean the lights fit into the headlight adjusting ring. fair nuf

what im asking is does the Golf Mk1 headlight assembly (ie bucket and light) fit into a beetle. i would prob take it as a yes

no the lights bolt on to tabs that are in the bucket, and have a mounting fitted to them ill see if i can find a better photo.
here we go just ignore the writing this is only for example

notice the frame at the back of the light the holes match up with the tabs that are in the stock guard if you look carefully
