I haven't got a clue about the late model head lamps that have replaceable bulbs. Here is something I do know for sure, when I go to wrecking yards and buy parts I can always get a couple of headlights, an assortment of bulbs, fuses, misc plastic plugs for free on every trip. The headlights are used and have no value to the wrecking yards. Sometimes I find some rather unique quarts, halogen or specialized lens patterns that someone most likely spent big bucks for. This practice takes keeps me in extra bulbs and a decent supply for replacements in the Westy I buy to restore.
