??? do you mean the side marker light? if so it's made by VW/AUDI.
which  is odd, since i figured it would be by Hella, who makes the
taillight/turn/brake/backup cluster and the headlight stuff on the old
buses.

anyway, the side marker lights are the same as on several years of
rabbits (not golfs!) and sciroccos ... i think about 80-85 or so.
maybe a bit later. same exact part.

and the rabbits/sciroccos had a FRONT side marker that was yellow (and
was illuminated, not just a reflector) ... which i want to put on the
front sides of my bus. :) but i can decide on WHERE ... on the door?
like the old 71-79 buses? behind the wheelwells? like the 68-70 buses?
that would be more "symmetrical" (with respect to the rear), but the
danged fuel filler gets in the way on the passenger side. :(

anyway, it's a VW/AUDI 321-945-061/061A  (red for rear). that's just
the outside part (the red-colored part). there's a bulb-holder and a
rubber
grommet/cover that goes along with it.

and if you're interested, the yellow one is VW/AUDI 321-945-051/051A.
(the /061A and /051A are the later versions. you can find earlier ones
that look just a like without the /061A on the part number).
