WTD - headlight / 58 beetle * PICS ADDED*
Hi Guy & Girls,
I need for my 58 beetle, so i can get it back on the road:
Bosh headlight : bosh headlight rim / Bosh glass
Needs to fit 6V early beetle, so the clip that the wires poke through, not the ones that need the clip attachements.
If anybody can help.. i need to hear from you.
cheers
finn

I hope the pics help.
if it makes it simplier, the guts from my old light are ok, so i can get by with just a headlight rim & glass, but i doo need the 2 long screws
that attach from the rim to the guts of the light.
so what ever anybody can help with. just let me know a price and postage to 5083 South Australia and i will get dollars sortted right away.
again thank you.
cheers, FINN

he had a P platers lic, he had p plates on the car, his lic was cancelled, his rego had expired and he never was insured ...... so thats how
i got the jackpot of loosers, to hit me.
anyway, thats in the past, the universe will take care of him, i am sure, as for now .... its all about getting her back on the road.
I do have the snowflakes & the semephores, but i gotta go through "regeancy" the dreded south australian inspection station. they dont like
old cars, so the 50/50 are there for better turning display. and as for the head lights ... well that just whats always been on the car.

correct me if i am wrong but i think
that your glass is not the right one for the age of the
car the inside seem good but the lens should be a fluted one like this and optional vw emblem in the top section
ps i swap ya for the flying hood ornament

mat54, you may well be right... and i dont doubt that you are.
i would be happy to get a pair of the correct glasses / lights ... but i am just trying to work with what i have got and get it back on the road.
then if somebody wants to be really nice to me and sell me a pair of the right lights, i will be chuffed.
