These look pretty good except no VW or Hella logo. Has the chrome trim has anyone tried them?

Has the chrome trim has anyone tried them? https://www.bughaus.com/dome_light_assembly_-_111947111D.htm Mike & All - all 3 mentioned so far aren't really correct look either - aside from fit. That one has the wrong size & shape white button more of the early 1960's Beetle/etc. era look, & I'm not sure that the clips will actually work to attach it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.bughaus.com-10181-1543515375.1.jpg) PS - VW Heritage calls it 1954 - 69 Beetle application: https://www.vwheritage.com/111947111c-inter...e-edge-vw-spare They carry the later "E" version with black button (out of stock right now), & the chrome version ends in "D" FYI - https://www.vwheritage.com/111947111e-inter...-light-vw-spare SMC's doesn't appear to have the "chrome" painted rim. The 914Rubber one is a black button by EMPI. AFAIK they still sell the Hella (Mexico) black button ones which do fit well as the 914 replacement/superseded part (i.e.: as used on the 74-76 MY 914s), which is what I'd use over all of these. IIRC there was a correct or close-to-correct white button with "crhome" paint rim one sold by "Oldtimer", "Newtimer" or some seller name like that on German evil-bay, which may be worth checking out (they also sell the repro 914 visor + pins/brackets sets). PS - IIRC this is the one noted above - https://oldtimer-ersatzteile24.de/Innenraum...uer-Porsche-914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
