That is a rear light for a country buggy. The difference is that the chrome rim is black on the original. Find some Hella old stock or go for Narva
86010 but quality not as good.

Yes it's for a country buggy and I have been trawling the internet for nos etc with no luck
I can't get the image I want loaded on this but as highlighted I have tried most option. If anyone knows the quaint old stock trailer, caravan
stockist of hella that I could try id be very grateful - chrome or not I'd be happy. I understand that the other brand is not the same size.
Thanks but still no luck!

Advanced Automotive Australia says they can have them in 3-4 days....
sales@advancedauto.com.au is their email address...
I asked if they had the Hella part number You quoted...
I don't know about pricing??
and cannot remember where they are located...
You can look up their address on their website...
You maybe lucky as Dave said, just about every service station used to carry them years ago as they were Very common on just about every trailer and
caravan...
I have some old hella lenses and a couple of tail lamps [both different] in My shed, still in their boxes, but no country buggy tail lamps or front
blinkers...
cheers

Did they look the same as the Hella ones????
Narva used to be an EAST GERMAN company under Socialist communist control until the Berlin wall came down on 9th Nov 1989 and then
The DDR or East Germany ceased to exist on oct 3 1990....
the Quality did improve after that... as they had competition now in the free world... and from Hella itself an ex Western Germany company, both
companies were now located in the Federal Republic of Germany,..
although I do have some new NARVA switches with DDR stamped on them = DDR = Deutsche Demokratische Republik
and Narva was then a Federal Republic of Germany company....
I was surprised to see Narva products after the Berlin Wall collapse and the end of the DDR Deutsche Demokratische Republik...
Companies run etc by socialist communist governments don't normally end on their feet like Narva did.....
maybe helped by the west German Government...

Bursons have two on stock but they are $ 100 more than the Narva .A lot of the Narva is sourced from cheap suppliers and the quality is the same.Not
much of their products come from Germany.

Time to call bursons. The hunt continues
The other mob advanced automotive showed they had them in stock but in reality they don't. They said we'll get them from Hella etc etc etc and low
and behold none available! I did give ol mate the warning but he was persistent to give him credit.
The alternate he offered was putrid ...........
Anyway I will call bursons and have a go

Get the best quality you can. I restored one of my beetles over 10 years ago and put on cheap aftermarket tail lights and they typically faded in
about a years time on the car. I replaced them several times until I found some NOS Hella ones. I can't remember how much I paid but they were
heaps more expensive than the cheap ones.
It is now more than 8 years since I fitted them and they still look new.

I bought a pair of new Lenses made in the USA from acrylic material NOT cheap plastic... about 2002.... lasted about 8-9 years..
I then bought some new VW Mexico lenses which didn't last long at all..
Cheap painted plastic ... which faded then they just cracked... Our UV ray's are just too strong for anything NOT designed for it.... All the tail
lamp lenses I see on websites usually have M at the end of the part number which I'm guessing is MEXICO!!!!!
Looks like Hella are the ONLY quality ones to buy..
I did see some with POLYMATIK [or similar] name on them years ago but no country on them... they didn't look like the cheap & nasty Mexican
ones... maybe were Brasil????
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good to see You found some new HELLA ones... for the country buggy, they would have been NOS.... made back in late 60's 70s?? but at a new
price...
I always look in old service stations for stuff like that, but not many left now and they are a long way out in the country....
there would have to be some out there somewhere???
cheers
LEE
Did they have the chrome around them....?
I was surprised that advanced auto said they could order them in.... Lee

I wonder what those front blinker housings are off????
seen a million of those round lamps but never on a housing????
I'm sure that Country Buggies didn"t have them....
amber round blinkers just screwed to front panel.... although it was about 46 years since I saw them.... lol....

Indicators front and rear on wa country buggies had to be forward facing/vertical apparently. It's a wa give away. I'm really happy front and rear

Even in those days the Hella book told you to mount even the rear lights vertical, but in the sixties you could getaway with it.
