Replacement Headlights, Cibe Z beam reproductions Options

[gandalf_025]

Back in the early days, I bought a pair of Cibe Z beam headlights. I put a pair of high watt bulbs in them and they were way better than the other lights available then.

When I took my car apart to prep it to go for paint last year, I removed the headlights and found the reflectors had corroded bad enough that I questioned if they were worth saving. The lenses are fine, but even trying to get the reflectors rechromed was way too much money.
I have been looking for 7" lights that I could swap the reflectors onto my lenses and came across a place that makes a repro of the Z Beams.

I ordered a pair, about 20.00 each plus shipping. I should have them in a day or so.
At that price, it is worth it to me just for the reflectors, but if the lenses really are a copy of the early Cibe lenses They might be worth having.

I won't have my car back together for quite a while, so I have no idea of they are anywhere near as good as the originals.. but if someone is looking for
a set of replacement headlights these might be worth 20.00 each to find out .

here is a link to the web page I ordered them from.

Last year, really?

Find a decent place yet?

Well, maybe I took the headlights apart last year.... Still haven't found a shop
to take it, but I'll keep looking.
