111-941-185C VW Beetle Headlight Wire Rubber Conduit (1967-1979)

VW Headlight Electrical Wire Rubber Conduit – 111-941-185C

The 111-941-185C is a protective rubber sleeve (conduit) designed to shield the headlight wiring as it passes through the inner fender and into the headlight bucket. For the "Upright" headlight style found on 1967 and later Beetles, this conduit is essential for preventing the sharp edges of the sheet metal from chafing through the wire insulation, which can lead to short circuits or electrical failure.

Made from high-quality, weather-resistant rubber, this conduit also serves as a critical moisture barrier. It prevents water, mud, and road salt kicked up by the front tires from entering the headlight bucket, protecting your headlight terminals and bulbs from corrosion. Over time, original conduits become brittle and crack; replacing them is a simple but vital part of maintaining your Volkswagen's electrical reliability.
