'68-'69 Taillights Amber tops with no reverse lights

[Nico86]

So, does anyone know if you can currently get these taillights in the U.S.?

All the re-pop ones have the reverse light. I remember Hella was selling it a few years ago but it was the complete rear light kit and a bit expensive.

From 68 to 71 : beetles came as 1300 and 1500 models with amber top + red lights, only the 1300L and 1500L (L=Luxe) had the reverse light.

From 71 (1302) to 73 (1303) : they all came with reverse light.

Probably reverse lights were option as you stated in your later post.

For example, my friends '72 1300 model came like this:



On the other hand, my '70 1300 model had reverse lights from the factory:
