I just saw this on Autostyle's website. Old style crystal headlights R450/pair. That will look wicked on the split.

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.

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.

It appears that headlamps of this appearance, are available from Neolite, as an H4 headlamp, using P43t flanged bulbs.
