Found a place in Sydney called Fiat Talk who thinks he has some in a box somewhere. He's going to have a look and see. Says I'm not the first one to ask to fit it on a Laverda and they are the right ones. Even have the little metal ball mouint thingys in the 3 corners.
 
Ken,

Not at all unusual for car manufacturers to fit different headlight units for different markets.

The normal Euro spec Fiat 126/127 headlight has either a 35/35W non halogen or 45/60W H4 bulb, depending on year.  IIrc, the 126 has a pilot bulb within the headlight, the 127 doesn't, this has a seperate pilot light.  The headlamps are otherwise identical.

If you are in need of a unit, I have a classic Fiat dealer around the corner (literally) from me!  No big deal to buy and send you one.

Check German Ebay, most of the sellers do send overseas.

Yeah, but not all, right? Thanks again Lothar. I have to get back to the seller and get him to refund my shipping costs.

taking into account the modest optical quality of the standard (FIAT 127 type) Carello headlamp...

I don't think I've ever seen a Fiat 127, and there haven't been any Fiats sold here in Seppoland for several decades (I believe). Despite this I looked for Fiat 127 Sport headlights on US eBay because an earlier thread had said that 127S headlights had holes for 2 separate bulbs. 2 must be better than one, right?
Amazingly enough there was a 127 Sport headlight for sale, although I think the seller was actually in Greece, 270459828076, wants $US60 for it. And it clearly has just one hole for one bulb, doesn't even have a hole for a DRL.
Was I smoking crack when I thought I read about the dual bulbs for the 127 Sport? Or am I just getting old?

don't know about smoking crack when you thought you saw a unit with two holes, but you're definitely smoking something funny if you pay $60 dollars for a lamp. you can find them on ebay germany for less than 20?.

drikko - just to understand: with right hand you mean some designed for driving on the RIGHT side of the road (like in USA, Europe mostly etc.) or one for leftside traffic like in UK, please?

thanks
 
Thanks Grant, just wanted to be sure... In that case, maybe UK Fiat suppliers can assist?!?
