Been checking on the pictures in the textbooks and they look like Carello lamps to me. Not the usual Cibie most folks used at the time, but they often have the covers on in the daytime so you can't see them.

They were carello and extremely rare model. Your best bet is Lucas 20-20 or Hella Rallye they fit the look quite well!

We have Carellos on TUD682T, these were on it when it was used by the factory in 1979. Apparantly they fitted above the bumper better due to their shape.

Don't laugh, but when I saw the name of this thread, I was expecting to see a car painted like a Dalmatian dog, white with black spots.
Just slow I guess.
