    Ed,,

    I think you are right. The name Rossi sounded Italian, but I see a tiny Braslia on the plastic.
    Thats got to be VW?

    Thanks,

    Stephen

    Those are Rossi headlights, an aftermarket solution for the '66 and earlier bugs. They used to be advertised in the hot rod VW mags back in the '80's. The light underneath is a turn signal.

    I suppose they could have been used on some cars originally, but I don't know. Plenty of information out there by searching "rossi headlights."
