Cibie 5 3/4in head lights

I'm planning out my head light upgrade and plan on buying cibies - I know they're expensive but from what I've read they're the best.
However, trying to track down a set seems a challenge. I've read on this forum that people recommend Europaspares but I'm only able to get hold of continental spec lights - this seems the case across the board with all suppliers. Has Cibie stopped making LHD spec lights? I will email Europaspares but thought I'd ask here first.

Also to clarify, what lights do I need for the inner and outer lights? Are they different? I read that the lamps are H4 outer and H1 inner, is that correct?
There is also a choice of flat or curved lenses. Which is best?

Any info you can give would be great.

Cheers

Alex

Cibie bought by Valeo awhile back.

H4 for the outer, H1 inner.

Brilliant thanks.
I did look at that website but found as the link it only shows the outers lamp.
Is there a difference between inner and outer lamps? Other than the bulb?

Hi Aleco,

Last year I've replaced the headlights of my LHD Sprint to Cibiés. The outers are directed to the right (on LHD cars) and vice versa, but the inners shine straight ahead.

Chris Witor supplies them, both RHD and LHD, see website

It's not cheap, but top quality 8)

And you have one of the better halogen harnesses in your Sprint. 😎
