Is there a US-based source for 6v BA20S fog light bulbs? I've found a couple of sources in Europe, no problem, but shipping a couple of bulbs is expensive.
If not, I was considering buying a few extra sets, since the shipping would be the same price for multiple sets as it would be for one set.

I bought a case of the 6V ones from England when they were discovered and have an extra pair if you'd like to avoid the shipping costs from overseas. Let me know.

Tempting.
I forgot to mention; this place has them in yellow, which I thought would be a neat touch.

Although yellow bulbs (nor fog light lenses) were ever used ... the 1961 brochure drawing clearly shows amber fog lights.  |

Hi together !
Did I get it right, that yellow bulbs were never ever used originally?
For Your discussion:
during the resto of my Type34 I bought a parts collection of a disassambled 1962 Type34. All parts were present exept of engine, chassis and body.
The fog lights do have yellow bulbs ... !
@carsten: You remember the collection of the parts, right ?

Yes they were.
It's the M282 code writing on my VW birth certificate. ( Gelbe scheinwerferlampen )

Yes they were. It's the M282 code writing on my VW birth certificate. ( Gelbe scheinwerferlampen ) Would that be for yellow headlight or fog light bulbs? |

Hi !
To Thom : both headlights and foglights were equiped with yellow bulbs.
To Jürgen : It's the same in France , it's still possible to use yellow bulbs.
Before 1992 it was fobiden to have white ones , The police gave fines for that !

Cool. I went ahead and ordered a few.
Interestingly, the price went up by a little over €1 since I started this thread!
