5-3/4" Halogen Headlights

[DougE]

I have a set of headlights for your coupe, a pair of Hella Low/High beams, and a pair of Marchall High Beams. Lenses and reflectors on all lights are in good shape. There is some corrosion on the bottom and bulb holder on one of the Marchalls; a little POR15 will do the trick. The lights work fine.
I have just learned from (rsporshe) that one Marchall's is a European lamp; it uses an H1 single filament bulb. The lamp # 612-60203

$130.00. I will calculate freight when I know where I'm shipping to.

 

[rsporsche]

are you selling all 4 for $130? or 130 for a pair. not clear. i am interested in the marchals if separate

 

[rsporsche]

by the way, one marchal is low beam, the other is high beam. i am most interested in the low beam marchal

 

[DougE]

by the way, one marchal is low beam, the other is high beam. i am most interested in the low beam marchal

It has three terminals on the rear but uses an H3 bulb.

All four are $130.00 plus freight.

It has three terminals on the rear but uses an H3 bulb.

look at the pattern on the glass, it has a cutoff for low beam. euro cars didn't use h4 bulbs. that is why i am interested in that lamp. i don't have any interest in h4 bulbs, i have a couple of pair (one cibie, one pair hella). i also have hella high beam and marchal high beam ... but i would by a spare and the low beam marchal for 80 bucks for the pair.

A pic of the bulb holder without the rubber covers would help. They could use p43t or p45t, one of them is very hard to find

 

[rsporsche]

this is a marchal low beam that can use either h1 or h3 bulbs. you can see the horizontal cutoffs to shift light away from oncoming drivers

 

[HB Chris]

Scott, Check out my Marchal. The E9 is older style p45t which uses a clip on each side of the bub holder, the Cibie on the e3 has the common p43t bulb with a single clip that wraps around the bulb and the base has a tab to fit into the housing. I searched forever to find an 80/100 p45t for the early H4 Marchal, be sure you know what you have.

 

[rsporsche]

my cibie are h4 lows, my hella are h4 lows and h1 highs, i also have a set of h1 lows. i have a set of marchal h1 highs and a set of french h1 lows (yellow filter in them - didn't know that when i bought them).

i have marchal fog lights with the tri post lamps, i believe p25 ... and you can only find those in 45w or 55w. i bought some h1 lamp holders that i might try to swap into the fixtures.

what Doug said was 3 terminals / h3 bulb. usually 3 terminals is h4 - h1 + h3 only have 2 terminals. i think the rubber boot has 3 terminals (see below). what matters is how many wires are on the inside between the bulb and the rubber boot.

 

[DougE]

I had never noticed the lens difference, and I agree, but this lamp uses an H1 single filament. Have a look at these pictures.

 

[DougE]

The part # 612-6203

 

[rsporsche]

yes, in Europe, there is no double filament in the low beam like the H4. the wiring is different in the dip switch so it doesn't turn off the low beam when turning on the highs.

 

[DougE]

I prefer to sell all of these at once; there is certainly someone out there who would like the Hellas.

 

[rsporsche]

no worries, if anybody buys these and doesn't want 3 low beams, i am happy to buy the marchal low beam.

If you're still interested, I'll sell the two Marchalls for $80.00 + freight.
