Beetle 3 Screw Headlight Rim - 1968-73 (Also Baywindow Bus + Type 3)

This 3-screw style headlamp rim is a high-quality reproduction of the original early style headlight surround used on Volkswagen Beetles, Baywindow Buses, Type 3s, Trekkers, and Buggies produced between 1968 and 1974. Designed for vehicles with headlight adjustment screws mounted in the rim, it provides a neat, classic finish to your front headlamps while keeping your VW’s original aesthetic intact.

Manufactured to match OEM dimensions, the rim fits snugly over the headlight unit and secures with three fixing screws. This style was fitted to most European-market vehicles during this period, whereas US-imported Buses often used the later 1-screw style rim (1974–1979) even on earlier models — please check your existing fittings before ordering.

Finished in reproduction “Sunny Climate Chrome,” this part replicates the mirror-bright appearance of original VW chrome but is not designed for harsh or damp climates. The finish may dull or oxidise within months when exposed to moisture; however, regular cleaning and waxing will significantly extend its lifespan and maintain its shine.

Ideal for restorations, custom builds, or replacing damaged or corroded originals, this rim is a direct replacement for the factory unit.
