I picked up a few parts from an old man by my house and there was what appears to be a glass clear bullet signal. The rest of the parts were for a late oval, so I am assuming that this lens is as well... I was always under the assumption that bullet lens's were plastic. Any confirmations? On the lens, it is
"VW HELLA
BL-Po 330"
IT IS DEFINATELY GLASS by the way.

Here is hopefully a picture

It does have a Vw logo, so it must be a Vw part right?

I thought glass bullets were for early Ghias..

All the bullet lenses I've seen have the cresent shaped cutouts @ the base for the screws that hold the housing together.

Are there any part numbers on them? (odd / even-----left / right difference)

Agreed. I thought all oval era bullets were plastic as well.

And the winner has been established.

The glass lense pictured is for T1, T2. The Ghia and T3 lenses have the cutouts for the screws. The T1 & T2 lenses are held in with the base.

Since when did VW make glass T1 bullets?

The numbers listed in my first post is all that is written on the lens. I was kind of wondering market value as well considering I have no use for this lens. However, if I knew what it is supposed to be on, I may just keep it if I intend to purchase whatever vehicle it should be on as a spare.
So... so far nothing absolutely definative eh?
