Is there a handy source for replacement Bilux bulbs for
my 115's European headlights?
http://www.candlepowerinc.com, North American pipeline for massive variety of
German-made bulbs. "Bilux" is Osram's tradename for two-filament headlamp
bulbs, not a description of the type of bulb.
W115 Euro headlamps come in
a couple of varieties; the earlier ones take the R2 45/40W tungsten
non-halogen bulb (shaped like a glass ping-pong ball on a 45mm diameter
metal base). The later ones take the H4 60/55W halogen bulb. Candlepower
has numerous different varieties of both types, including halogenization
(conversion) bulbs for the earlier lamps in 45/40, 60/55 and higher wattages.
