 Posted: Thu May 08, 2008 3:37 pm Post subject: Dating Bosch script fog lights |
 |
|
I'm looking at getting a set of OG fog lights for my '55 but not sure which ones would be correct. I see two different types with the old script logo - one with the logo small, centered at the bottom of the lens and one with the lago much larger, at a 30-40 degree angle at the bottom right of the lens.
Anyone know what dates these two types correspond to?
Thanks.  |

I believe that the angled one with script is correct for the zwitter era. I saw many different ones at Bad Camberg this past year and asked a guy from Denmark about this very topic as he had several for sale. The one I considered buying had the large angled script and a nipple style lens. Too much $$ for me (350 euro for one) so I let it go back to Denmark where it came from

I didn't say "I" bought them. And they were fog lights not headlight lenses.

Ooops Sorry 
BTW Bob, that headlight lens in the pictures is that correct for a 53 ?
I can't find a source to put a date on my hella or Bosch headlight lenses !
I have here 3 boxes porsche and vw lenses all pre 60 !
There where other topics about the lenses but now after reading them I'm even more confiused about them ! Is there somewhere a source where I can find the exact date they changed to other models !
Hesa was checking one box lenses, he could help me with a few  (thanks again Hesa), but I still have a lot 
Thanks in advance,
Guido |
