Re: Headlight ID please
Still no luck finding a pair of these lights, the viva owners club refuse to sell to anyone not owning a viva!!!!

Re: Headlight ID please
If they are as hard to find as the Marchal TP21SP lights then it's probably cheaper to buy a scrap Viva for £50 and join the club

On a serious note the non-concave ones are Renault 11/12 I think and now seem to fetch a huge premium. There is a guy on Ebay based out of Lebanon (the sandy one not the one in the USA) who I think now wants $350+shipping per set.

Thanks

Re: Headlight ID please
The logo in the center of the lens looks like Cibie, they are owned by Valeo now (as are Marchal I think), but I'm not sure they still produce that pattern.

Renault 12 lamps I believe...Lots of R12 used as Taxis in South America and I would assume elsewhere.
Good Luck
