Cibie Bi-Iode Headlights

[jaudette3]

I was recently asked if I could restore a set of Cibie Bi-Iodes. I hadn't worked with those before but I was fortunate to have one on the shelf that I was able to experiment with. I discovered that it's very feasible to restore them but it was necessary for me to learn more about them. So I've done a bit of research and discovered why these are so sought after. Originally used by Porsche on the 911R, the 911ST and the 911RSR, they have an impressive provenance. I've gone ahead and published a new page on my website on these fascinating early headlamps:

I encourage and appreciate feedback.

Cheers,

Hi John,
Great lights, and good to hear you can manage them.
When you are done with them, can you light one against a wall and compare to the Ampliluxes?
I am curious about a comparison. In looks, the biode wins hands down
