US Spec Karmann Ghia Headlight Bracket

Replacement semi-sealed beam headlight retaining bracket for Volkswagen models fitted with sealed beam or semi-sealed beam headlight units. This bracket mounts inside the headlight bowl and provides the fixing points required to secure the headlight unit in position.

Commonly used when converting to sealed beam or semi-sealed beam headlights, these brackets are also ideal for replacing rusted, damaged or missing originals during restoration work. Manufactured to OEM style dimensions, they allow the headlight unit to be securely mounted whilst maintaining correct alignment.

Suitable for both early and late applications, including pre-1967 headlight assemblies and US specification 1967-1979 models.

Please note that when fitting European specification semi-sealed beam units, minor clearancing of the bracket may be required to provide clearance for the sidelight bulb holder.
