Was hoping someone could tell me what year this Hella headlight assembly is from? Please note the “VW” logo at the bottom of the lens and the “Hella” script on the chrome trim ring.

I plan on selling this and was wondering what a fair price was.

Thanks.

Looks like a 53 single rivet Hella ring but the housing should be date stamped with a stencil on the bucket. There’s a whole thread regarding date coded lights in this section.

Agree w/'53-early '54--Could also be earlier. If the stencil is readable, it'll answer a lot of questions.
