I've been interested in vintage headlights for awhile now and started collecting Cibies a couple years ago. Thought it would be interesting to see if any other collectors are out there or if I'm the only one crazy enough to hoard these...
So far I have 2 pairs NOS Z-Beams, 2 mint pairs used Z-Beams, one pair used Z-Beams with corroded reflectors (good glass), NOS pair 200mm rectangle H4's, NOS 175 driving lamp set, pair of NOS par 36 driving lamp replacement housings, and a countertop display stand. Also have a pair of Z-Beams in my '64 VW bug and a pair of 200mm rectangle e-code's in my '87 Conquest TSi, both with relay harnesses.

My '64 VW. I was driving 50 miles per night four times a week on two lane country roads when I was going to tech so I needed better lighting than the old sealed beams. I tried a couple different aftermarket lights (junk!) before finding and settling on Cibie's. The lights mounted on the bumper were junky fog lamps that were just for looks, not hooked up.

The '87 TSi. First thing I did when I bought it was install Cibie's and a relay harness.
