| Hello everyone. I have a set of Hella 127 fog lights on my '61 Beetle. One of the lenses got hit by a rock or something and cracked into a bunch of pieces. I glued it back together but parts were missing and it has a hole in it. I cant seem to find a lens for them in any of the usual places. |

The one in the link is for Hella 128. 127 lenses are trapezoid shaped.

I was going by the op's photo of the lamp holder which shows 'wavy line K11039' which I assumed was the lens
the ones on his car don't look very trapezoidal to me

Yeah, ok. On closer inspection they do look like a possible fit. Good work there

I had those on my '67. I liked those foglamps! Porsche style, but also matched the backup lamps.
Another cool factor was the clear lens but the tinted reflector. A precursor to today's "white look" lenses of all sorts.
