I just wondered that.

vagcat.com shows PN 111941049A   for a '79 Golf "retaining ring for
sealed beam unit". Googling that PN I see;

http://www.jimellisvwparts.com/products/Volkswagen-VW/Vanagon/Retaining-ring-for-sealed-beam-unit/5216341/111941049A.html

It shows quite a few applications.

Happy hunting Tabe!
