Can anyone tell me twhat a mint set of 54 beetle headlights complete with correct 12v globes are worth?

I want tol sell them if i can get an acurate value!!!!:beer

Don't think they should have 12v globes. Shouldn't they be 6v?

They did originally but the 54 has a unique bulb holder which uses a different than normal type globe, i managed to fin a pair of globes that fit the holders in 12v so they will work with a 12 conversion, the globes alone were over $30 ea.
