back up lens for original Hella back up light on 1965c

#1 Post by Kirby Klys »

My original Hella back up lens is cracked on my 1965 c. I have searched both Stoddard and Pelican. With all our advertisers, and the wealth of information that seems to be at the fingertips of various members, any suggestions for a supplier? I don't want to replace the entire unit, just the lens. Thanks in advance.

Try a search on eBay or The Samba.

Aase sells just the lense but not a whole lot cheaper than the whole assembly. Personally I would call Stoddards and see if they sell the lense separately since Aase and PRS in England sell it separately under part # 644.631.641.05 Not all the parts Stoddard has are on the website I think.

This is the same for PRS - The Uploading to the Site is continuous with a dedicated guy working on it everyday - but many items have still not made it

An email to Clare on - caz356@btconnect.com - will get you an answer for anything that you cannot find

Thank you to all those that have found us in the past

I'm wondering if the backup lights used on some VW's use the same lens. e.g. type 3 backup lights are about the same size.
