Classic Parts Finder's review
As early as the mid-60s, a number of (mainly French) vehicles were equipped with innovative headlamp lenses featuring a double reflector. Because the additional reflector was positioned at the base of the main reflector, they were nicknamed 'kangaroo' headlamps. These were in fact 'bi-iodes' headlamps, with two separate iodine bulbs, each with its own housing. The second reflector acted as a long-range reflector. This rather clever system enabled the vehicle to be fitted with powerful headlights, without detracting from the car's appearance. However, it was quickly abandoned, probably due to the effectiveness of H4 bulbs (introduced in 1971), and the fact that more and more manufacturers were equipping their vehicles with integrated long-range lenses. Their effectiveness was also sometimes questioned. Finding them in 'New Old Stock' these days is, frankly, a rare occurrence.
