Anyone sourced any of the above from overseas? i've been looking at things like this

to paint & use as a base for a project.
I take it these type from the states/china don't come with hi/lo beam. Anyone know if the lamps are easily interchangeable.

other than that anyone got any other leads? I want to pay F all for it & it doesn't have to actually work that well - just enough to get a warrant.

They look like they are driving lights to install either side of the main headlight on a big cruiser. I don't think they are intended as the main light.

I can see a small lamp inside to the rt of the main lamp which looks like a park lamp. You might be correct will be park/high/low most likely.
