66 Bug front turn signals

Post by Ben »

Hi, I just bought a 66 Bug and the previous owner converted it to 12v. It has some aftermarket plastic 12v turn signals on the front fenders which I hate, ( plastic chrome) yuck. My question is will the original Hella lens and metal chrome housing fit over that new 12v set up? Thanks for your help.

Yes, it should do, the footprint is the same on the rubber gasket, so go find some nice chrome on metal turn signals
