Hey veedubbers,
I'm looking for headlights for my 71 ghia., are they just a standard size headlight or are they a specific size for the ghia?
Thanks in advance
No one?
VVDS 02-9789-1777
Ghia headlight assemblies are specific to the ghia, they are a different size to all the other VW headlights ( ie beetle, bus, type 3 ).
US spec ghias came with sealed beam units, which I suspect your 71 would have had, and the sealed beam can be bought aftermarket ( ?? 7 inch
diameter) but the holding unit and chrome dress ring are ghia specific ( but easy to find in the US).
can use Mk1 golf sealed beams, had some in my ghia when i first got it
Thanks guys..I'll see if I can find some based on your recommendations
If your not hung up on originality or have been scared off by the price of original KG headlights, you can use Mini headlights with sealed beams. They
look much better than a H4 Golf/beetle lense as they are curved and flat. Best of all they can be gotten new for very little. I had them on my old 61
Ghia whilst I was sourcing a RHD cracked original headlight lense.
Cheers
Steve

These seem like a good deal as they have a replaceable h4globe and also have a curved glass surface, what do you think?
