Some other differences:

One is stamped the other is cast

Different brand of lenses SWF or HELLA

As I have over 25 side markers in my stock I have about 50/50 of either types

Today and old friend called me and said he had something for me. He gave me a pair of flat type 3 hubcaps, three NOS side markers, one amber and Two NOS RIGHT side markers and two NOS sidemarker seals. I recall when we bought those in 1985 at Car Custom in Azusa. He never used them and gave them to me.

I've found a set tucked away in my garage, what are these worth?

Probably best just to check others for sale in the classifieds section of the site
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/search.php?...ton=Search

Keep in mind these are all unsold so the prices could be from a little too high to outrageous.

I saw those, but none of them have a right side in the same condition as mine...

EverettB · Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2014 9:24 am Post subject:

I was not aware the right side was worth more but I trust the people who posted this above.

Off the top of my head and making a total guess, add 50% to your estimated left side lens value for the right side lens.

Every time Pedro and I got to a show and check out cars, he always looks for the "correct" side marker lights. It's funny how detailed some cars can be.

In all of my type 3 years, this is the most I've ever owned, the one one my car and my two spares. I've never seen another color other than red/clear.

I think the color depends on the market.

My '65 has amber side markers. I believe red/white would be correct for Italy and surely some others as well. I believe amber is correct for Germany but I'm no expert on vehicle lighting laws of pre-EU Europe.
