Replied by Gr8uncleal on topic Rt1/DT1-E Headlight
Following on from Mark's post, the item shown in the link below is currently on ebay.
It is the headlight that the sealed beam unit replaced (WHY?!
) and it is what I shall be using.
You will still need a rim, which should be the same item, and a different socket/cord to wire in the bulb (American Pre Focus type, I think).
Is your existing lamp and rim damaged or just absent? If absent, then you'll also need the gubbins for the beam adjustment.
Do a search on here or ebay and you will find aftermarket replacements.
I would recommend a 6v regulator to avoid blown bulbs. Alternatively, some say that 12v headlight bulbs do the same job.
