Question Solved my riddle, but... what car used Hella 127 fog lights?

After months of stuffing around trying to find a replacement lens for what I thought to be Hella 128 fog lights, it just dawned on me that the ones I have attached to my 1968 911 are not 128 after all... a bit of searching revealed that Hella also sold Hella 127 fog lights, but I can't find what car they belonged to - they look very close, but may not be Porsche after all and maybe VW or even Mercedes or else? Google searches didn't reveal much either...

Would anyone know or guide me into the right direction? Here a photo of the 127 parts - maybe that helps to solve my riddle (I need one white lens in case someone has one - the 128 V lenses are ever so slightly different and do not fit)

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Sven

Ronin, those are not Cibies. Those are Hella US TN4s.

Sven, I think those were mainly Karmen Gia. I would try Samba or scrounging Germany EBay. They come up quite often.
