Supplement headlight for HASAG M165
Hi,
Which headlight and chrome ring fits my lamp? I do not want to buy repro parts and my original parts are well beyond recovery. It would be the easiest to use some other bike's lamp... Maybe a tractor or whatever has the same dimensions. Regular motorbike lamps are smaller as I checked it out no MZ or JAWA or any hungarian bike whatsoever has the same dimensions. I use a Trabant 12V halogen headlight in my IZH and it fits nd works like a charm with halogen bulbs even...
Thanks

Hi Stalker,
There are good repros available, but if you dont want to use them it can be quite hard to find a one that looks quite similar as the original Hasag.
Modern glasses are too flat and looks ugly, even if its quite easy to find the right diameter glass/mirror.
I remember I got a tip some years ago, that a 50`s Opel Kapitän front lamp will fit. I have never checked out that tip, but those lamps has the right shape and looks quite ok.

Wow, thank you very much!!! I will check it out! What do you mean under "modern" though? What other choiches do I have?
I saw the repros, but if the bikes ever gets completed, I would want to use halogen bulbs...

Hi,
With "modern" i mean for instance Bosch 301600006 used on Fiat, Volvo, Lada etc. Fits but dont look nice. Those are made for conventional bulbs.
I have not checked out the part number for "Super modern" with halogen bulbs.

Well, thank you, probably that lapm is easier to get than the Opel one...
Re: Supplement headlight for HASAG M165
Did the 4T Trabant had the same headlight dimensions? Just to stay at dirt cheap parts...
Re: Supplement headlight for HASAG M165
The Trabant headlight does not really fit. The small amount of deformation of the chrome ring does not seem to be the problem. Should I replace the chrome ring too? If yes than which car or bike has a fitting one for the 195 mm lamp housing?
Re: Supplement headlight for HASAG M165
Let's say that I have the correct ring and the glass, what is the value?
Unfortunately the glass is broken into 4 pieces when moving last year..
Clean sides so it could be glued I guess?
Still looking for a complete m165.. maybe we can help each other?

Re: Supplement headlight for HASAG M165
Well, both together can be brought around a 100 Euros, repros naturally. Value depends on current "well being" of the parts...
I have not yet found a supplement lamp... probably some tractor yould be the solution.

If anyone still wonder; the Opel Kapitän 1951 headlamp dos NOT fit. I bought one and try it out, but it is to big.
