111-945-241D VW Beetle Taillight Lens - 1962-1967 All Red

Taillight Lens (Red/Red) – 111-945-241D

The 111-945-241D is a essential for any taillight restoration. Over decades, original plastic lenses become brittle, develop "spider-web" cracks from heat, or fade into a dull pink color due to UV exposure. Replacing your weathered lenses with these vibrant red units immediately sharpens the rear aesthetic of the car and ensures your signals are clearly visible in daylight.

Detailed Vehicle Compatibility

• 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967

Product Highlights & Features

• Heat Resistant: Formulated to withstand the temperatures generated by dual-filament 12V bulbs without warping or melting.

Technical Specifications

• Color: Red / Red

• Application: Rear Taillight Lens

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Replace the Seal: Never install a new lens with an old, flattened gasket. A new Taillight Lens Seal (111-945-235B) is required to keep moisture out of the housing, which prevents the bulb sockets from corroding.

• Avoid Over-Tightening: When reinstalling the lens screws, tighten them only until snug. Over-tightening can put localized pressure on the plastic lens, causing it to crack around the mounting holes.

• Clean the Reflectors: While the lens is off, take a moment to clean the silver reflective coating inside the metal housing. If the silvering has flaked off, a quick coat of "Chrome" or "Bright Silver" spray paint can significantly increase the brightness of your lights.
