It *looks* like an old design of H4 headlight. (it has a high degree of refraction design on the lens, so won't be that "modern". I'm afraid i'm not up on my history of collaborations between Lucas and Cibie though. IIRC, Cibie did manufacture in Belgium though before they became part of Valeo (who I believe are actually based In Belgium). I've certainly not seen one before with that type of lens design in the centre!

Where does it say Lucas? On the lens, or a label?

[mini-mad-dan]

on the lens, unfortuanalty there was only one, so i wont be using it unless i can find another

Is it a mk1 reverse light?

Probably why you found it in the boot and why theres only one and why its highly refracted

So its not a headlight

Naah. It's got the inbuilt sidelight. No point on having that on any other function lamp apart from a headlamp!

Is there a part number on that Cibie label?

grr i hate being proved wrong

Thought it was one because of the black bit in the middle and the way its refracted

[mini-mad-dan]

unfortunatly the lable is shrunk and all i can make out is cibe, so a mystery headlamp then, hmmmmm

[Mini Mad James]

I still think its a reverse light

[Dan]

The lens is the same pattern as a Lucas foglamp, but I can't think why that would have a sidelight window.

[Jammy]

Am I right in thinking that it has the two beam adjustment screws, and that those aren't mini colours on the wiring (if the wires are original).

[Dan]

No, that's British Standard wiring allright.

[mini-mad-dan]

it has 3 screws on one side i assume for alignment, more pictures as everyone is stumped on this one

seems it is a belgian lhd spotlight style headlamp, do you guys reckon anyone would want it?
