Early style and late (71-3) Not all countries got the late ones, but they were slightly smaller and came with extra retainers that held them in the frames. I think all the aftermarket front lights were early style, so you are probably safe. The window openings were the same in all cases, so you can really install any front light in any car as long as you use the correct hardware for that glass. There's an art to installing windshields successfully. Your best bet would be to hire a pro to do it for you the first time. Be there so you can watch, learn, and possibly help. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
