Headlight identification
Hey, I got a whole bunch of parts with my new project and found three headlights, two of them were standard early ones with hella euro lenses, and
there was this one, appears to be a standard early beetle reflector, bowl etc, however the lens is a bosch part and has dimples on the upper half.
Is this a porsche 911 lens?? I only got one so i would be interested in getting another one to match if anyone has one for sale
thanks

Yes that IS an early Porsche 911 headlamp assy.
My Son has them fitted to His "Aero" fibreglass guards on His 56 Oval Beetle...
Would be expensive I should think...
Richard Hozl would know where to get them or Vintage Vee Dub.....
