A few euro head light questions
Should there be a bulb holder between the headlight reflector and the bulb for the headlight bulb? (Picture 1)
Where can I get a new lense and a few other parts for the old style lights? Anybody know the bulb number for the city lights and head lights? Thank you.

That paperclip looking deal holds the bulb to the reflector.
Reflectors are $$$, about $60-80/ea... Apparently a mirror shop can redip them. City light is just a 5w jobber if I recall, I just got a pair at McParts here. The main should be an H4.

oops, I meant lens, not reflector. USPS played soccer with these lights and busted the left lens ...I have edited the first post.

Head light bulbs are H4 and the city lights are H3(see pics). Dealer has them to. Louis.

No, the foglights are H3.
The "citylights," i.e. park lamps if present are T4W It's easy to understand how foglights could be mistakenly called citylamps, as so many Americans drive with them on all the time. They're for fog/rain/sleet/snow only.
