Nothing "lesser" about those Russ. They are also getting hard to find.

"The H1 pictured on the right side of the picture has the flute pointed to the left, which according to this theory would make it a RHD headlight. And vice versa for the Bosch on the left side of the picture. It's pointed to the right which would make it a LHD headlight."
Nope. Sorry John, you have it the wrong way round.

Thanks to Mike, Ed and Sean, this thread is already clearing up some misconceptions that have been floating around (at least in my head).

I think the position of the fluted area and the way it seems to not match what you would expect is due to refraction (not a spelling mistake) of the light beam......but then again I could be wrong!

My father could explain it if he was still with us - he was an Ophthalmologist.

As a sidebar to this thread, especially if turned into an article, it may be good to also show the various versions of Boides. Mike has shown the Cibies, Russ has shown some yellow Marchals, I have some Carrellos that i can get some better detailed photos of (poor picture attached) , apart from the different colors of each type are there any others?

Is it correct, that whichever side the pie area is on when sitting in the car, should be on the same side that the driver is sitting when driving? Nomatter if they are Bosch or Hella?...Also, I read somewhere that Hellas have slotted screws & Bosch has the Phillips type screws!?
I trawled through a lot of old threads on headlights recently and kenikh had a lot of good information to give.
Thanks Chris. Here's the thread started by Kenik - very complete information on SWB lights.
