Replacement morettes confusion - Mark153 - 04-02-2013
I am looking to replace the factory-fitted morette headlights on my beloved phase two 306 SP - the reflectors are now badly rusted and likely an MOT failure.
A few threads here mention buying replacements off eBay from a seller called Bolt On Bits for around £37, but don't mention which sizes to go for.
I emailed them a while back with the following picture and details to enquire which set I needed, and they replied they didn't do anything in those sizes.
Outer lamp = Cibie 497, approx. 5 1/4 inch
Inner lamp = Cibie 8001, approx. 4 1/4 inch

I might be having a senior moment with the measurements, so was wondering if someone here who had bought the eBay replacements could point me in the right direction please?

i did wonder about that, is it possible to split them and re-coat the reflector then? .
