This might be a dumb Question, but can anyone tell me if 66' front fenders will fit on a 68' Bug?

The fenders themselves will bolt on, but you will need to cut a hole in them for the bumper brackets, and install different H/L assy's

Turn signals are different as well - on the 68 up fender your signal resides ontop of the fender. 66 down fenders they are in the headlight assembly and the light ontop is a marker - so some wiring will need to be changed up.

If you plan on changing to an older hood you will need to change the front apron too.

OOPS MY BAD :blush:

Unless of course James did his own wiring. Then the high-beam acts as the signal, and the marker as the brake light.

Cool thank for the input, I want to run 66' fenders and the porsche headlight with the signal in the lamp assembly.
looks cleaner

Is there a specific year fender that doesn't have the holes in the top for the signals ie pre-66'

early 55 fenders don't have the turn signal on top (any semaphored car actually)
but the price would be rather steep i would think for a set.

It might be less visible if you had a set of Bullett signal fenders if you had to full them in. (55-57)
