Nope, but they would make kickin' headlights for the moto-car project!

Bought 2, then the cheeky bugger dropped the price to $32.72 if I bought a 3rd. I offered $32.50 for the 2, which he declined, but he took $35, post was cheaper too.

Received to Oz already.
They came yesterday and they're as Hans said. Same complete BMW headlight, sans H4 socket.
Roy should get his Monday!
Thanks Hans, they really are a decent bargain.
Does anyone in NA or Europe need just the headlight lens? It's yours for postage cost.

the pricy and low /slow feed ability to replace the damaged bits in my /5 bucket had me surching for a answer
I found a Triumph blank, in chrome......the bucket fitted and as my needs changed and applied, I use a Bosch light for M/C in Motorycle in 7"
they easly replace at 30.00 USD and if I'm careful.................. I just replace the H4 light

Headlight arrived on Monday, I fitted it last night with the right hand lens, just to see what it was like.
The new light was a huge improvement - my old reflector had dulled and the lens had a thin coating of something on the inside, but I was still surprised at the gain.
For a right hand lens the pattern wasn't bad -I have the lamp aligned to the left to light up the verge anyway and it was probably acceptable.
I ran the old lens through the dishwasher and it cleaned up a treat, so I fitted it tonight, together with a new Navra globe, which claimed to that it was "Now with 30% more light" although at $5.95 the price was no different.
I have tried other brand + Plus 50 globes in the past and found that the only thing that was plus 50 was the price, but the Navra easily matched the 30% claim and it seemed better focused too - the dip cut off was much sharper.
The light is now better than I will ever need - thanks everyone!
