Euro Taillight Lens (Amber Top) – 111-945-241DE The 111-945-241DE is an essential component for any "Euro-Look" restoration or for those simply wishing to stand out at a vintage VW show. Over time, original plastic lenses can become "milky" or develop heat cracks. Replacing them with these vibrant, high-quality acrylic units restores the deep color and reflective properties needed for safety and style. Because these lenses fit the classic mid-60s "Teardrop" housing, they maintain the sleek, sloping lines of the car while adding a pop of color contrast that defines the European export models. Detailed Vehicle Compatibility VW Beetle (Standard & Convertible): 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967 Product Highlights & Features UV-Stabilized Acrylic: Manufactured to resist "pinking" or fading from sun exposure, ensuring the amber and red sections remain vivid for years. Symmetrical Design: This lens is non-directional and can be used on either the driver (left) or passenger (right) side of the vehicle. Internal Prismatic Ribbing: Precision-molded internal ribs diffuse light evenly across the lens surface, preventing "hot spots" from the bulbs and maximizing brightness. Technical Specifications Part Number: 111-945-241DE Lens Style: European (Amber over Red) Material: High-Grade Injection Molded Plastic Application: Rear Taillight Lens Installation & Maintenance Tips Avoid Over-Tightening: When reinstalling the lens screws, tighten them only until snug. Over-tightening can put localized pressure on the plastic lens, causing it to crack around the mounting holes. Inspect the Chrome Rings: Since the lens is held in place by the outer chrome trim ring, ensure your Taillight Trim Rings (111-945-117) are not bent or pitted. A straight ring ensures even pressure and a better seal against the rubber. New Gaskets are Mandatory: Always install new Taillight Lens Gaskets (111-945-235B) when replacing lenses. A fresh, soft rubber seal is the only way to prevent water from entering the housing and causing the bulb sockets to rust. 111945241C 111945241DE 111 945 241C 111 945 241DE AC945106B Show more
