However, you may find them available with the 356 or Volkswagen groups. They also used them. Or maybe Otto knows of a source in Europe that have them. They were made by Hella.
You will also have to get, besides the fluted glass, the reflexter that holds the bulb. It replaces the seal beam. The Euro did come with a different part, that held the reflexer with a small bulb to run in conjunction with the parking lights. However, the US one should work, just won't have the parking/running light bulb. This bulb was required in some countries due their laws required only parking/running light in city limits, no headlights, at night. France required a yellow lens headlight.

Thanks Jaems!
I'll start the hunt for the reflectors. I already found the proper fluted lens. For anyone else interested the part number is 901-631-111-00 for the fluted lens.
