Headlight Bucket, Split & Oval, Beetle, up to 1957

This is the closest you’ll get to an original early-Beetle headlight bowl without cutting one out of a museum car. Stamped from 1.0 mm automotive-grade sheet steel, using proper deep-draw tooling to reproduce every contour, mounting hole, and reinforcement exactly as Volkswagen designed it.

No thin aftermarket metal, no distorted shapes, no “close enough” reproductions.
This is a full one-piece pressing, dimensionally correct, crisp, and ready to install without fighting the fit.

Built specifically for Split and Oval Beetles up to 1957, this headlight bowl restores the correct mounting structure for the headlight assembly exactly the way the factory intended.

Fits both the left and right side and is sold individually.

If you want the correct look, the correct fit, and the correct structure, this is the panel you use.
