Hi all,
Trying to find out what the correct original head lights would look like for a feb/54 oval. Hole postions, etc. Any pictures much appreciated

my understanding is that bosch units had the screws at 9 and 12 o'clock and hella were at 5 and 7 o'clock.
this thread covers bosch and hella date codes which might be of interest https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=279505

This is from my Feb '54.

Hella, with adjusters at 5 & 7 o'clock as per the thread above. I assume your current lights are from a slightly later car.
