Only the USA imports got the super beetle taillights. These where made from 69- to around 80 but only imported to the states in 73-74. Everyone else got the 68-71 Bus taillights . Hate those big ones , the uppers are 58-61 bus , the backups area actually are my turn signal's just put a amber bulb in there , they are 68-71 bus. I have some small led, s under the bumper for backups. We plugged the hole with a nice metal patch.
