Stop light visibility was never a strong point for the classic Beetle. Now, Beetle owners can upgrade their stop, turn, and taillights to the latest in LED lighting technology. The all new Technostalgia LED retro-fit kit snaps into a stock 1956-61 VW Beetle taillight housing and converts all rear lighting functions to bright and visible LED lights. The installation takes about 30 minutes and requires no electrical knowledge

The LED retro-fit kit ships assembled and ready to install. The kit includes the LED array, a molded acrylic lens, a lens-to-taillight housing gasket, 24 inch wiring pigtail, stainless base and hardware, and installation instructions

$99.95 per pair
FREE Shipping in the USA to all Volksrodders

these will be available in aprox 2 weeks place your oder now they will ship when available.

Hey guys,
My 15 year old and I just got his extended beam in the 66 and we are getting ready to extend the steering shaft from the column to the box.
I have a couple of questions.
1. My local VW shop has the assembled u-joints with the correct spline count for the beetle shaft. Unfortunately, they only have one in stock and for some reason they can't get their supplier to get them more of them. I've been able to find them on e-bay and was getting ready to order one, when I found a complete shaft with both u-joints for a Super Beetle. It would save me a lot of trouble even if I had to lengthen or shorten it. My questions is, does it have the same spline count as the '66?
2. What did you guys use to take up the slop between the shaft and the column housing? Bearing, bushing...?

thanks,

They hit the sheet metal to the side of the motor over the heads.

I'm guessing these were either for another model or for someone who wasn't running with all the sheetmetal in place.

Any info on where to get taller ones? I have no clue if the Del 40/48 thing on Cip1 will work or not.
