Trooker Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I fancy these but can’t justify it. If you’re doing an original/concourse build however they’re hard to find so may be of interest & possibly worth importing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cibie-5-3-4-Ecode-main-high-beam-headlamp-pair-100w-H1-bulb-upgrade-genuine-/224406356835?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Fairly certain I’ve got a pair of these in my unit, completely useless to me as the fixings at the back are wrong for my irmscher bezels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooker Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Oh my, you’re right. They wouldn’t fit mine either! I was keeping my eye out for ages as the cibie seemed to be the thing to go for. My spots have been misted & looked bad but I’d finally ordered Hellas anyway, hope those fixings work 🤯 Edited April 14, 2021 by Trooker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starmist Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I would love a full set of cibies but just can't find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Surely those would have the beam pattern all wrong for RHD ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY ABBOTT Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Just fitted new old stock cibies in my i240 E45 SFK made them fit the bezels quite easily by slotting a hole and fitting the original plastic adjuster. Made all 4 fit in a coupe of hours easy enough job Edited April 16, 2021 by ANDY ABBOTT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickfrad Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Not sure if all this kit is old stock or if some parts are becoming available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Orig-Irmscher-Opel-Manta-B-Headlight-Frame-Set-Incl-Double-Headlights-/265126654321?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good point that those adapter bezel are definitely a 3D printer option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 800 quid for a set of headlights? Jesus H no. It’s not a Ford for heavens sake. Not to mention the fitting kit wouldn’t work with bolts, no way of attaching those bolts to the headlamp bezels. And they’re LHD lamps anyway. I need to find someone with a 3D printer.
