LIGHTS - Penske and Brumos '73 RSR

Can anyone tell me what these driving lights are mounted in the front bumper fascia?

I know one of these pictures is of a tribute build to the original Sunoco/Penske/Donohue RSR, but it appears to have similar, if not the same lights.

Any info would be appreciated!

THANKS!

Penske built...







Brumos

BTTT

Are these CIBIEs, Hellas, Something else?

I'm thinking of doing this same setup, but I would really like it to be with an era correct light. Any info or suggestions on what these are or could be would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The Cibie Oscar was popular in the day. Its about the right diameter and depth. hard to tell exactly which lights due to the covers.

Thanks for the response. Yeah! I could see those being a possibility for sure. Those seem to be about the right diameter and are pretty shallow. What else would have been popular about this size in '73 to '77 (ish) year range? I don't need to know EXACTLY what Penske or Brumos put on either of those cars, but something similar in style and size for that era. Seems like a tab on the back side of the bumper mounted to the bumper brackets would be a piece of cake as well, with trimming the bumper to recess the lights as an option also.

Doing a random search, here's a visual of the Cibie Oscar lights.

I'm looking into this also; I've spoken to Sam about his use of Oscars on his project, and am also curious about the Brumos lights; they look like Pallas to me?



Consensus?
