111-945-241DE VW Beetle Euro Taillight Lens - 1962-1967 Amber Top

Euro Taillight Lens (Amber Top) – 111-945-241DE

The 111-945-241DE is an essential component for any "Euro-Look" restoration or for those simply wishing to stand out at a vintage VW show. Over time, original plastic lenses can become "milky" or develop heat cracks. Replacing them with these vibrant, high-quality acrylic units restores the deep color and reflective properties needed for safety and style.

Because these lenses fit the classic mid-60s "Teardrop" housing, they maintain the sleek, sloping lines of the car while adding a pop of color contrast that defines the European export models.

Detailed Vehicle Compatibility

VW Beetle (Standard & Convertible):

• 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967

Product Highlights & Features

• UV-Stabilized Acrylic: Manufactured to resist "pinking" or fading from sun exposure, ensuring the amber and red sections remain vivid for years.

• Symmetrical Design: This lens is non-directional and can be used on either the driver (left) or passenger (right) side of the vehicle.

• Internal Prismatic Ribbing: Precision-molded internal ribs diffuse light evenly across the lens surface, preventing "hot spots" from the bulbs and maximizing brightness.

Technical Specifications

• Part Number: 111-945-241DE

• Lens Style: European (Amber over Red)

• Material: High-Grade Injection Molded Plastic

• Application: Rear Taillight Lens

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• 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.
  
  

• Inspect the Chrome Rings: Since the lens is held in place by the outer chrome trim ring, ensure your Taillight Trim Rings (111-945-117) are not bent or pitted. A straight ring ensures even pressure and a better seal against the rubber.

• New Gaskets are Mandatory: Always install new Taillight Lens Gaskets (111-945-235B) when replacing lenses. A fresh, soft rubber seal is the only way to prevent water from entering the housing and causing the bulb sockets to rust.
