Can someone please let me know which is the correct headlight glass for a 54 beetle? What should be written on the glass?

Cheers, Damien.

the glass lens is fluted up and down..
there is no cutoff for low beam as on on newer lenses..

they could be VW Hella or Hassia or maybe Bosch...

here is a pic found at short notice..
they look like VW branded..
notice the glass flutes going up and down...

cheers
