OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

12 Volt LED Tail Light Upgrade Bulb Conversion Kit, for 1956-61 VW Beetle with Snowflake Lenses
12 Volt LED Tail Light Upgrade, ASSEMBLED KIT, 1956-61 VW Beetle with Snowflake Lenses
Kit contains bulb conversion board with LEDs installed, wiring and connectors. View of Beetle shows a car with a stock incandescent light on the Left, and these LEDs on the right!


 
12 Volt LED Tail Light Upgrade Bulb Conversion Kit, for 1956-61 VW Beetle with Snowflake Lenses
This upgrade kit provides a faster, brighter and MUCH safer lighting alternative to the stock style incandescent bulbs normally used with the stock 1956-61 VW lights! Most owners do not consider light SPEED as a factor, but when you have LEDs you can see how SLOW the stock bulbs are to actually light up to a visible level! Price is for a PAIR of units to do both tail lights.
The running light is made up of 24 LEDs that are strategically placed behind the snowflake design in the factory lens. When the LEDs are lit it gives the snowflake a cool glowing appearance which is not normally seen with the factory incandescent bulb.
The brake/turn light is made up of 29 LEDs, which are arranged in 5 vertical bars that WILL catch the attention of drivers behind you much faster than your dim stock lights! You'll have a classic appearance that is very bright when lit!

With a total of 53 LEDs per side, you will not be missed by other drivers on the road, so you can now focus on enjoying the drive in your classic or custom VW, instead of focusing on the rear view mirror worrying about being rear-ended!
The LED converted lights will function just like your stock lights do, and only need one additional wire to be added, which is included in the kit. The wire is to ensure a good ground, which means no more random light outage issues!

*NOTE* An LED Compatible Flasher must be used when you convert to these units, so your turn signals flash at the proper speed.
Installation is very easy and can be done by anyone with a couple simple tools. Early VW Beetle owners that have put this kit in their Oval Windows concur that it's one of THE BEST upgrades that can be done to these cars, for both looks and safety!

5 of 5 Excellent Upgrade! November 20, 2013
Reviewer: Dennis Hornung from Richboro, PA United States  
Bought a set of these for my '61.  I was informed(via horns, yelling, etc) that my old taillights were not working a few times.  No more of that.  These fit snugly into the taillight housings and are a neat little project to do in your spare time.  They eliminate the dark diffuser in the taillight and that helps even more with visibility.
