Make sure that you get a matching pair, VW used a few different suppliers over the years and there are a lot of crappy 'pattern' ones around.

I sent a nice matching pair of Hella ones with a '67 Hella no. plate light to Custom & Commercial for plating and got a mismatched pair of light pods and a '65 (v. slightly narrower mounting studs) n. plate light back off them....eventually... :'(
