Where to get- clear Tailight lenses 1968-72 beetle


Is there any aftermarket taillights for a 71 beetle,
not smoked ones but clear chromy ones.

You could ask Rob where he got his from. They are clear white lens with chrome underneath, if that makes sense.

WANTED Clear tail lamps 68-72 beetle..


I can't remember seeing any...

as in the USA... 1971--72 beetles had different tail lamps to the ones We have... they are about 40-50mm longer but same shape...

so, You would really be looking for clear tail lamps from a 1968-70 beetle with the reverse lamp in the bottom...

or if they are clear... the reversing lamp at the bottom won't matter...

cheers

LEE


PS: the reason i know this, is that I bought a pair of rubber base gaskets for the 1971 beetle tail lamps....
