VW Beetle Headlight Lens - Clear Lens 1954-1966

Headlight Lens (Sloped Glass) – 111-941-115H

The 111-941-115H is the ideal replacement for cracked, sand-blasted, or missing headlight glass on your classic Volkswagen. This lens is specific to the "sloped" style fenders used before the transition to upright headlights in 1967. The fluted design on the interior of the glass is not just for aesthetics; it is engineered to diffuse the light from the bulb into a wide, safe pattern on the road.

Because these lenses are made of genuine glass, they provide a level of durability and clarity that plastic lenses cannot match. This part is essential for owners looking to maintain the period-correct appearance of their Beetle or Bus, while ensuring the vehicle remains street-legal and safe for evening drives.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Replace the Seal: When installing a new lens, it is the perfect time to replace the headlight lens-to-rim gasket to prevent moisture from rusting your chrome reflectors.

• Clean the Reflector: Before sealing the new glass, gently wipe the interior reflector with a soft microfiber cloth to maximize the brightness of your headlights.

• Rim Alignment: Ensure the lens is centered perfectly within the chrome trim ring before tightening the mounting screws to avoid putting uneven pressure on the glass edges.
