ARB bumper lights?

[Jeff B]

Anyone know of something that will fit in this space?

Old style ARB .

ya, the original blinker lights that shld've come with the bumper. You don't have to actually connect/use the lights as the lens serves as kinda reflector and just looks better.

I can place you in touch with couple of the guys at ARB that might help you get a set.

VW GOLF JETTA MK1/MK2 signals will pop right in, the whole assembly is the exact same

I couldn't stand the dated orange lenses and replaced mine with clear lenses

^^^^^ what he said^^^^ did the same thing to mine. Clear lenses with LED bulb. Huge difference. Wired it up so they were my day time running lights. The VW unuts are half the cost of ARB. Fleabay has them mostly from European suppliers but are still very inexpensive.

Doode... I know.

Ok, went with something off eBay for $25 w free shipping.
I wired them up as blinkers instead of just running lights.

Thanks- the SYF sticker was courtesy of the previous owner of the bumper but I'm leaving it on as a tribute!

I found this thread because I was looking at lights for the ARB bumper. It looks like the lights supplied by ARB are a Chinese copy of the original VW lights. The original suppliers are ULO, ZKW, Sidler, and Hella. I don't know if those seal any better than the ARB ones. I'm guessing they probably do because I saw some old used ones on eBay and they look pretty clean inside. The VW part numbers are 171953055D and 191953055A for amber and 191953055 for white. The lenses are 171953141C for amber and 191953141A for white.

The current Hella part numbers are 2BA 002 939-171 for amber and 2BA 002 939-275 for white (the white one appears to be available from VW only); and 9EL 116 771-031 for the amber lens.

If you want to find a particular original VW version you can look for these used or NOS (all amber):
-Hella is 2BA 002 939-035 with VW part # 171953055. Marked 171953049/B/C. (White version is marked the same.)
-ULO is 3320017. Marked 171953049F.
-ZKW is marked 171953049/J.
-Sidler is marked 171953049E.

Here are the Hella lights in amber and clear. The clear lens has an amber insert that is glued in, so it cannot be removed. You’ll need an aftermarket lens if you want clear for DRL.

ARB supplies those lights as a kit. I have a set for sale

Much less expensive is the early VW Rabbit and Jetta Mk1-2 turn/marker lights. Perfect fit and virtually identical to the ARB branded items. You can get clear lens and amber lens. That is what I used in my ARB bumper years ago.

Good luck
