111-937-207 VW Beetle 4-Pole Headlight Fuse Box - 1952-1960

4-Pole Headlight Fuse Box – 111-937-207

The 111-937-207 is a critical restoration component for early air-cooled Volkswagens. Over decades, moisture in the trunk area causes the original brass contacts to oxidize, leading to flickering headlights, high heat at the fuse, or complete light failure. Because early VWs use a 6-volt system (originally), maintaining clean, corrosion-free connections is even more vital than on modern 12-volt cars to prevent voltage drop and dim lighting.

This fuse box is a direct bolt-on replacement, featuring the original mounting hole spacing and terminal markings to make wiring straightforward for both professional restorers and DIY enthusiasts.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Clean Your Wires: When swapping to the new fuse box, take a moment to snip off the last 1/4" of the old wire and strip back fresh copper. Old, oxidized wire ends won't conduct as well and can generate heat even with a brand-new fuse box.

• Dialectric Grease: Apply a tiny dab of dielectric grease to the tips of your ceramic fuses before snapping them into the box. This creates a moisture barrier and prevents the "white powder" oxidation that often builds up on these vintage contacts.

• Don't Over-Fuse: Always use the factory-recommended fuse amperage (typically 8-amp or 16-amp depending on the specific circuit). Using a higher-rated fuse can cause the wiring harness to melt before the fuse actually blows in the event of a short.
