Found these of interest on the Daniel Stern lighting site:  

H4 halogen bulbs on P45t base

Upgrade your vintage European headlamps to modern-car light levels! These updated halogen bulbs (above left) fit and work correctly in all 1950's through 1980's European high/low beam headlamps originally equipped with tungsten R2 bulbs (above right). Light output is much higher, life is much longer.

  • 45/40W (original wattage) Narva: $11/ea
  • 60/55W (standard halogen wattage)Narva: $12/ea
  • 100/90W Narva: $19/ea
  • 130/100W Narva: $20/ea

Scroll down about ¾ way down with the bulbs… I’ve got both the biode sets and the H4 sets and the Biode sets ARE much better…. Curious what the high watt Narva bulbs would be like in the biode lights… :-)

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.
