I am in the process of stripping down and restoring a set of headlamps that came with the car (not fitted), and I am trying to work out if they are period correct or not, what is right, etc. So please feel free to comment and share your wisdom/expertise!

The outer lens is Hella with a raised script on the inside of the lens...

The inner units are Cibie H4's (which I'm guessing are not original.

The lights appear to have had some work done in terms of silver paint on the inside of the lamp holder.

So, the questions I am asking are:

1 - Are these lamps period correct for my car: 1966 coupe?
2 - Are the Cibie's correct?
3 - Are the Cibie's still available: the PO dropped the other one and it has a great crack through the lens...
4 - Any recommendations for paint? So far I have stripped and primed the metal, but wondered what you have used for the inside metalwork and the silver...
5 - any other info you can supply:
