Smile Fog/Driving Lights

I have a cracked lens on my '88 XJS driving light. Does anyone know what replacement part fits this?? Alternatively, is there anyone out there with a used part that is not cracked. They are Hella's but I can not determine what the original Hella part number for these units is. Do you folks know what part/size is original??
Thanks to all in advance.

Good luck on finding anything that most people would want to pay for. Seems that they are a close relative to chickens teeth and unobtainium.

yes these are Hella 155 fog I just saw a pair of 155 Hella Driving lights being sold on ebay as fog lights.... clearly driving light no shield for the bulb and flat clear lenses (I messaged them that they were driving lights not fog... )
then I had another thought and went back on line to purchase them as they were listed at 149.99... the housing being brand news would have been a great replacement for my beat up and one rusty one and I would have had driving lights that I could have just switched out at a WHIM...

I was too late.... AHHHHHH!

oh, what is the weather... Fog or Driving lights tonight honey... ?

keep looking the Hella 155 was also used on other cars back in the day I found a pair at a crazy low price googling for them on the Porsche forum...
SOLD.... :-(

there is some one here selling a pair that the reflector have been hacked for H3
If I could figure out how to remove the reflector from the lens I would half them with you...



I am about to buy a pair... I will sell you my one good non-rusty one at a great price... if I buy the pair cheap enough...

Super!

I will be receiving my NEW in the BOX Hella 155s hopefully soon
they have not shipped yet... The 450 shipped today.... I will be selling it on Ebay the 450 series is just a little bigger than the 155 and I thought I was bidding on 2 but it was just 1 and Yellow... the 450s use the H3 bulb that everyone thinks the 1992 thur 1996 use (they do not)
the Hella 450 are an option to up grade if you do not care about keep it org.

Why did I bid on the 450... it was 10 dollars... shipping 12.75.... I could have lived w yellow for that price if it was 2 of them...
super bowl was on and no one bid against me...

Oh, Take heart... buy mine and then keep an eye out on ebay and the google for a great buy on 155s they do happen... I know... I just got a non 450$ pair... I paid a very reasonable price, once again no one bid against me... shipping was 20 this time and the price was over 100... (Just)

I will put the jaguar light cover on the good light and not turn them on until I remove it for you...
