FS: @eBay - SEV Marchal Amplilux Headlights

[jaudette3]

As many know, I have an affinity for the early dual reflector headlights. It was a big advancement in bulbs when the halogen H1 was introduced. But there was one big disadvantage - it only has one filament. So in order to use them in automobile headlights it was necessary to have two bulbs and two reflectors, one for low beam and one for high beam. Several manufacturers came up with this innovative solution, including BOSCH (what is commonly just called the "H1"), Cibie Bi-Iodes, Carello and the SEV Marchal Ampliluxes made in France. The Ampliluxes had a sharp low beam cut-off and a far reaching high beam that could be adjusted separately from the low beam, creating an almost laser like far reaching beam. These and the Bosch H1 were the only headlights that had the capability of adjusting the high and low beams separately.

These are in original, unrestored condition and mounted in original Hella sealed beam housings that have been restored. New chrome trim rings. new lenses with correct Hella markings.

I've installed new bulbs, 55w H1's in the low beams and 55w H3's in the high beams. I can also provide 100w H3's at no extra cost if you prefer but I recommend that you install a relay kit if you use the higher power bulb. I can provide one from JWest Engineering for $32.00. I'm also including fender gaskets and mounting screws.

I bought these at a good price from a fellow member here and I'm passing it along:

Price: $875.00 plus shipping

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
