What are the correct exterior bulb sizes for a beetle/

Aug 25, 2006 3 Replies

I have a 74, and the car has missmatched bulbs all over it. I wish to go down to the FLAPS, and get all new bulbs. I have already removed the assemblies, cleaned them, and painted with reflective aluminum paint. I hope to see major improvements here!



But would like any info vailiable. There are some numbers by the bulb holders themselves, but these numbers are not on the packaging in the stores......also there are many bulbs that look alike....



AFAIK these are what you can use

6014 (Halogen Headlight might be a different #) 1157 (front turn, possibly 1 brake/running) 2 element bulb big glass 1156 (rear turn, backup, possibly brake) 1 element bulb big glass 67 (rear running) 1 element small glass I forgot which tiny bulb I use for the front marker light inside of the front turn signal (rear bulb)

now do you also need the interior light and speedo bulbs?

those tiny bulbs might be 57
