Rear light trims

[no 6]

I've got horribly cheap rear light lenses, so bought some OG (hopefully!) chrome trims at Vanfest to tidy them up. Of course, they don't fit (the lenses are too wide).

Are there different sizes (possibly spilt to bay ?) - looking at several vans, there were all sorts of detail differences.

The 'sensible' thing now is to get some better lenses, but what do I get ?

Thanks.

Chrome trims are for US spec tail lights which are smaller that Euro ones.

Contact status-vw.co.uk they sell hella repro euro ones, they have the chrome in the plastic as per the original ones, like the front indicator lenses.

Life is full of disappointments !

Thanks for the comments. Maybe a job for my belt sander - bought it ages ago but not used it yet.

I have heard of people trimming the cheaper euro lenses to fit the USA chrome rings.Give it a try it should be ok.It will be a lot cheaper that way.
