I used a template that was borrowed to me by Werner Alker. He made the template off a later beetle headlight that already had the tabs installed.

Re: T2 Head light conversion
Terry my Early Bay is just about done in the spray shop,
Then a week at the upholstery, then back here for the assembly,
Will then take photos of the whole process to help you should you still want it.
Will give you both options, and give measurements for future guys wanting to do the same.

Re: T2 Head light conversion
Thanks Herman the back is playing up so at this stage I cant sit for long so I will be in the horizontal position for a few days or week so no rush.
Thank you for your offer.

Re: T2 Head light conversion
Should there be a left and right light and backing plate as I seem to have both the same arrows on the side both face the same way.

Re: T2 Head light conversion
The arrows are to show if RHD or LHD lights, so the arrows should face the same way....Terry Phillips wrote: Sat Feb 02, 2019 5:45 pm Should there be a left and right light and backing plate as I seem to have both the same arrows on the side both face the same way.![]()
