Do you mean Cibie Oscar driving lights or the Cibie "hood lights"?
I have never seen Cibie Oscars mounted on the front hood.

Both Cibie Oscar driving lights and Cibie "hood lights" are adjustable for light alinement.

As far as I know, there is some variation on placement for the hood lights.
The stonegrau car is my buddy @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=1262 Dave Toppin’s car. Here is a couple pics of what he did.
I have no exact measurements. Maybe reach out to him through a pm.

Do you have the mouting particulars? Like how you did that and have 4 lights to mount.

Hi guys,

I do not have a measurement on the PMB install of my Cibie Lights but, I can show you some pictures. The one straight on looks like if you draw a line from the highest point of eyebrow to the center of hood that is the lowest that mine are mounted. Also, PMB makes up some trick hood prop as shown on the picture of the hood open. Dicking with the factory springs really, does not work out great.
