Yes, I recognize them, they are for 304, not 504. I compared them to images I have of 504 lamps and they are not large enough to be for 504. The biode lamps for 504 (double parabole) are usually hard to get although there was a pair in Germany that went cheap, but the seller would not ship to the US.

The biode lamps use two bulbs or "ampoules", a european spec hi/lo and an H1 for hi also. The euro spec lamp can be converted to H4 but you have to have the holder to do this, which means you have to find bad lamps to sacrifice. You can buy the euro spec bulbs in the US but they can be expensive.

The single bulb H4 lamps for 504 are more plentiful, I have a pair recently acquired out of france, and another single coming soon. A pair of Cibie and a single Marchal. The best glass appears to be Cibie but the Marchal are very nice too. The Ducellier lamps are really exquisite, the interior of the plastic housing is chrome plated as well as the reflector. Neither Cibie nor Marchal electroplate the housing.

Remember that you cannot mount them without the attachments which although there are few, are still required.

Good luck, email me if you would like more information.
