Here's mine for when I get my buggy back together. I may have a few sets, to sell and the license hood, which will also be plated. I am switching all of the lights out for LED and halogen head lights. Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

I think these are from a Chevy Impala, I might switch back to stock stock ones though. Smile

Those 'Vette ones look great, especially on that body style.

Cadillac lights in my Manx.
Keep in mind that when the lamp reflector is tilted, and not perpendicular to the road, they are very hard to see in bright sun.

Well since I wasn't able to get down here in Mexico the traditional 61-67 buggy taillights with the chromed housing that I wanted, I went first with the 1973 -2004 beetle model, which by the way are very common here.

Then I found on a VW parts store some kind of an euro style variation of the 1973-2004, and used them instead of the "normal" 73 style

They have a mate black background, a clear lens, the reverse light is located on top, the turn at the bottom and the running light and stops are at the middle. The bulb's reflectors are diamond shaped, so the ligths look intense from long distances.
