This should be it. Hard to tell with no picture. Maybe if you email them they can post a picture.
Some of those lenses are glued to the reflectors. Heating to about 250f seems to soften the glue to get them apart.

Lens and reflector are special. Completely different than the US lights. Centering is on the left, not the top. Uses h3 bulb.

Bruce, great advice about removing the glass to the rear reflector if it’s glued. If I remember correctly, 20 some years ago the lenses are not bonded directly to the glass reflector housing..? I’ll check when I take them apart.

Thanks

Mark, the H3 euro driving lights are halogen and the lens is much more clear and no vertical ribs. They work better than the standard 914 fog light.
