Beetle lights are vertical and Bus lights are horizontal.

If the centre part can turn,it will work.

I actually bought a set of those about a year ago. Thought they would fit on Lady but alas... no such luck. Managed to sell them again. But did get a good look at them before parting. They did look the BOMB!

They are quite readily available. Just a tip, if you want to buy crystals for the bay\bug, buy them from Autozone and not Autostyle. Half the price at Autozone. :wink:

The old style ones do fit, but it has to be done with a lot of care as they are a little flimsy. Also have a set.
