I was browsing Jon Lowe's GT pages... are those cool bumper/hood mounted rally lights still available, OEM or aftermarket?

So there's nothing special about them, then? I saw the name "Cibie" on some of the lights.

Cibie's are the "OEM" light maker for the rally cars. The NOS sets are available from time to time on Ebay, but they want like $700 for a set. I have some Hella 500series that I mounted to the front bumper using the holes where the bumper tits used to be.
Here's a set on ebay:

Don't waste your time with ebay. Just call this guy:

Gunther
Aardvark Int'l
Work: 562-699-8887
Whittier, CA

They've got a website as well that has most Cibie auxillary lights:
Cibie lights

Yeah they are expensive but most of them will look period correct on your car.
Good luck,
Kevin

Kevin,

Thanks for the website. Yeah, they're steep.

I found a place that sells chrome trimmed Cibie H-4s for 142.00 each.

Cibie Oscars

I want enough light up front that I'll melt the paint off any car in front of me. My plan is to rig the lamps so that the fog lamps run through one switch, and the driving lights run through another. There is a hole for an extra switch on the dash (hidden behind the vinyl) immediately to the right of the steering wheel.

Yeah, I wondered, too. Cause there's already a place on the left for ignition, foglight and headlight. On the right, there's a place for the lighter and rear window defroster.

It's just an extra hole, I guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I bought this set of cibie's on e-bay for $70.

The chrome is in good but not perfect shape.

I like them because the housing has a short dimension from the lens to the rear of the case, they don't stick out too much.

I think the vintage Super Oscars are getting in the >$600/pair range now. The new flavors should be substantially less than that, but still not cheap lamps. Plus you have to fab the brackets I think.
