Cibie Oscars back in my day doing 12 Car events with my local motorclub around Gloucestershire.
My son still has a set of my Cibies thinking of putting them on the Renault 4.

I originally was looking at a pair of super Oscars, collector pieces now!
Don't know how much these Bosch HID's cost when new... Probably as much as the Pinin is worth today!
All stainless steel polished shells, glass lens, and of course proper HID burners with Bosch ignitors Great wiring loom too with waterproof connectors. Probably the pick of choice on a works WRC Rally Car money no object.
Can't really stick anything like these on a modern car/4x4 anymore.

I have a pair of Super Oscars and a pair of Oscars ready for the Fulvia, the smaller version look a bit more balanced. I also have a set of modern Super Oscar replicas brand new, you can never have too much light

It was the SIM Super Oscar repros I was looking at, when I saw these for sale at about the same price, I paid £110 the pair.
Google searching it appears they where originally sold for around £900 a pair! https://m.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/1160480

They are for our friends in the USA and their pick ups.

You and me both. First on my Escort and then my old 110 V8 mud-plugging Landie, on which they were a lot more useful.

Mate fitted a set of KC Daylighters to his MK2 Escort years ago, they were super bright but such a narrow beam, swapped back to Super Oscars after road rally night stage

In all my time Rallying I don't recall seeing a car without Cibies they were the lights to have for sure.

I had WIPAC Hairaisers on my Sunbeam Stilleto.
Kept the nose connected to the road.

What a difference, illuminates all the way to the junction at the end of the road, with a welcome spread to the side too.

Do they have a separate transformer?
