I'm looking for Mrachal headlights

Does anyone have NOS or used Marchal headlights in your spare parts stock that can be sold to me in Japan. Marchal code 61222303 or 61224503 with spotlight bulb. I have been looking for them years. But no chances have been faced.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Search eBay France. They come up there. Search "Marchal Phare Saviem R12". Saviem is a French truck and the Renault R12 also both used this light.
 
From my side, sold them all and I see none NOS on the market.

Anyway, there is always a solution to any problem.

What you can do is the old school way : When these lights were in production (I mean Marchal lights till the 80's), you could change the whole light or just the glass.

Then buy a pair of used light like the one Lee mentions;​
Buy a set of repros lights for the Renault 12, Turkey produces some, and can be found on the internet. The glass will be convex but the shape is ok; so you will have holders with perfect reflecting chromes​
Remove lenses from all lights, give a good clean to the marchal glasses and glue the marchal lights on the repros holders.​

Obviously the rear of your light will not have the look of an original marchal but from outside (means looking at the car) it will be perfect.

Best

PS : the only difficulty is to find used lights with no pits on glasses as they were exposed to drive and weather conditions.
Also, bad timing as some time ago, I was sorting out my extra inventory of headlight: https://www.gt40s.com/threads/original-marchal-headlights-tp21sp.56676/

Hi Guys, thansks a lot foryour support for my project. I'll check with ebay fr. and will think about Stepane sugesstions.

Tom,
 
Hi Sirs, Thanks. I've checked with Les-Six-Troenes and got a reply "No longer avialable" while they said they may get them some time in future. Yes, Japan is a RHD (left hand traffic) country.
 
The correct Marchal 61222303 or 61224503 has a right and left hand traffic pattern switchable bulb holder allowing use in BOTH traffic patterns of the world. Many lense systems are only one traffic pattern. These are both. The ad above for the Marchal Type 21 is the correct light as well as the one I posted. Others are not correct.
 
Thanks for those pictures and note of right pattern switching function that has. The picture of the broken Marchal that I posted was 61222303 and here is the back side of it. M1 has the retractable headlight and 61222303 is best to be used.

Do you need one or two lights?
