The originals are German INA brand in most cases.
It is an odd size on the inside diameter but if you have a sample part number
any local VW shop or good bearing centre should be able to help you.

Thanks guys!
Didn't find them in Melbourne but did find them at http://www.justkampersaustralia.com who were very helpful and are shipping it today (the shipping with cip1 was just a tad
on the expensive side, although i did notice on the cip site site that they have cheaper shipping options now also).
Looks like i may get that beam in the car this week afterall... FINALLY!!!

Use UK vendors if ever in trouble finding parts as the shipping is very cheap. CIP and other USA vendors WAY overcharge on postage if you check out
postal costs at USPS (US Postal Service). Some UK vendors overcharge, like M7, but VW Heritage and Custom and Commercial are far more reasonable.
USA seems to penalise anything being sent out of America and then the companies add their own bit on top.
