Actually it's more specifically a 2CV headlight question.
What size are the round headlights on a 2CV? Say I had a pair of bare shells only, what else do I need if I got a pair of halogen or sealed beam headlights to put in. Is there a trim ring to secure the light fitting or clips or what?

size, dunno. ccan measure later though.
Standard 2CV headlights can be fitted with halogen bulbs with an adaptor ring available in most french supermarkets (or i have a drawing somewhere on how to make some)

Say I had a pair of bare shells only, what else do I need if I got a pair of halogen or sealed beam headlights to put in. Is there a trim ring to secure the light fitting or clips or what? Light unit is held in with a chrome clip thing on the top of the shell. I can't see any other lamp unit fitting into the shell without a fair bit of maunufacturing. The shell itself is pretty small - you might get a 5.75" unit to fit but the standard 7" unit no way. |

No but a standard 5.75" unit might fit. I'd be looking to get hold of a complete pair off units ready to fit to the Pop. The reason I'm asking is there is a set of empty buckets on eBay but I think it would be false economy if I need to buy an assortment of clips etc. 'Ere they areWhat else do I need? Edit: SVC do a complete 5.75" nest with the lamp, don't know if that might fit. It's about halfway down this page but they ain't cheap. I can't just need the glass headlight unit itself surely? |

 Not much help to the actual question, but if you buy headlamps from SVC they might be expensive, but very good. I got mine from there for the Bugrat.

Mmm, odd size. My logic here is 2CV lights second hand have got to be cheaper than a pair of custom shells but will still light up better than the little 4.5" weiners on the Pop.
