"Audri" 1963 VW 1500 Variant
Euro Headlights
This car was originally built with SB12 sealed-beam headlights, confirmed by the welded & painted brackets inside the headlight bucket. The 73 written inside the left bucket is believed to be an inspectors mark.
But I really prefer the look of the Euro headlights & want to have brighter lights than standard 6V. I contacted my buddy Jorg Fischer in Germany for assistance buying a nice set and he graciously donated a beautiful pair from his spares! I'm so thankful to have friends that are so generous & helpful!
I moved the parking light wire from the turn signal to the headlight and plugged it into the parking light tab. Then I added ground wires to the headlight bucket.
