​​​​​​Hi everyone !

It'* a long time I haven't posted here. Anyway, I hope you're fine.

Five years ago, I asked you to help me to identify the origin of the pop-up headlights of my car. We saw that it was a specific part made by GM for Alpine cars (see the thread here : https://www.gmforum.com/introduction...france-306082/).

Today, I need your help again. I would like to replace my old headlights by clear type to improve lighting. My actual headlights are made by Valeo but I find them very similar to those of the 98-02 Firebird (and maybe Chevy Blazer and Suburban from the 80-90s). To identify if they are really the same, I took all the dimensions and reported it on the pictures below. Can someone tell me if they are the same as Firebirds ? I added a picture of the original headlights and a Japanese Alpine A610 with the style of headlights I am looking for.

They look close.

Are the power requirements the same or less?

If so, it might be worth an order from Amazon Prime to get one in-hand to test fit.

They are intended to work with H1 55W halogen bulbs.

Do you know a model that could replace it ?

Would be nice to have better close up images for cross referencing. Is the interior bulb replaceable or is it a sealed one?
Example on those rectangular units, what is the info on glass and sticker on top? Gm often used A1 or A2 sealed bulb (low-high) if I remember right, as marked on front of glass, with an aluminum bezel.

From my first post and my answers below, tell me if you need more pictures.

This is a replaceable bulb, as almost all European headlights.

On the top of the reflector, this is the manufacturer reference : Valeo, 084605.
On the bottom of the glass : Valeo, HC, E2, 0489704.

Yeah, some detail pictures of one of your lens assemblies would be good.

I think we should hold our info hostage until we get get some french pastries first....

Here are different close views of the low beam. And for Tech II, would you like a good Paris-Brest ?

Grrrr... Impossible to upload any picture. How can I do ?
