Title: Headlight - Is this an original?
Post by: waffey on May 15, 2020, 04:03:53 PM: Hi, see attached picture of the headlight i took off my project. Its a concave headlight stamped made in France!!!!! (it might be a clue)

Is this an original light or a replacement

Post by: florence on May 15, 2020, 04:12:53 PM: it is not original, it is a cibie, aftermarket fitting common in the past. it is actually a better light than the original but if originality is your thing and you want to sell it let me know, I might have the correct one somewhere.
