Has anyone fitted this type of retro style headlamp unit to a 500?

I'll stick with my fully LED unit for now - truth is like riding in the rain that is mostly avoidable , riding in the dark is no fun as I get older.

Wrong alignment of lugs, bulb location etc. Plus soft resolution of flutes in glass pressing that appear to give generally mushy beam pattern and light control.

Hardly surprising for a lamp that was made by Lucas and fitted to TR's in 1956!
I doubt an out of patent copy version will be up to modern standards.
Iirc the originals had the tripod from the center recessed on the outside if the glass lens.
