I saw them earlier today... Do you think they'll fit?!

You'll need 65 to 67 headlight assemblies.

I very well may.....

Guys - you sure they would fit a '65-'67headlight assembly?

BTW, you now owe me.

The biodes are a 7 inch assembly. There's no "odd" size bulb that's similar to a 7 inch. The only other odd size is the Cibie hood mount light, and it's not even close in size.

The only question that I recall with these is the depth of the bulb. There's a thread on these lights, and also the Carello and Marchal Amplilux (both dual lamp bulbs). Raj (Varunan) showed pics with all the bulbs, I don't think the depth of the Biode ended up being an issue.

You may want to do a search for "safety". I've run both the Carello and Amplilux with no issues.

Here's the thread, and the first pic shows the fit, shouldn't be an issue. That's a 65 to 67 assembly....(as is the first pic on this current thread).

I'm concerned with this post from Mike Moore. I believe he is referencing the light currently available on eBay.

Thanks Raj, there must be more than one size of Cibie Biode unit!
Here's mine measured up against the headlight fitting and you can see it's too big. Also note the 4 tabs on the back, yours has 3.

Here's my boide unit against a modern 7" cibie and again its much bigger.

I stand corrected....appears there could be an issue. I wonder if it's a bulb "built" for a Renault or Citroen. The 2CV has it's own lights for instance. I also see that Mike's lights have a provision for a "citybulb", which is interesting, as I wouldn't expect to see that on a high performance bulb.

Regarding the ebay lights, he's a good seller, fluent in English and I've bought some lights from him in the past. Ask for the measurements and go from there.
