Classic Manx blinkers

I think, besides the Type1 turn signals, (top of fender mount), the others (bullet-type) used on the old/classic (1960s) manxes and manx-type buggies were Ghia or Type3. Does anyone know the exact year/years for the Ghia and for the Type3?

I would think the ghia lights would be pretty hard to make look good
as they have a non paralel surface mount to overcome the radius under the ghia nose
now the type II bus and cabs had some bobies on the front
I would guess pre 65 would be a good start
try looking at the photo section in the samba
at pre 65 buss
if all else fails you could go to a local truck stop and look over the lighting section for running lights got to be atleat 15 diferent bullets in there to chose from some pretty sharp
I was eyeing a pair of cat eys at one time
