I looked at the pictures posted and my thoughts were that the lights are RHD, but to be doubly sure before commenting, I had a look at the lights on my '76 Alfa, and also the lights on my Cobra. They both had the same RHD glass pattern that is in the OP.
Cheers :D

So I figured out why my City Light bulb is not working. Although it is wired on the backside of the headlamp, it's not wired back to a 12V source.
So I'm thinking that since I have a non-functional toggle switch on the dash (wired for an electric fuel pump which I do not have), I can utilize that switch for turning on/off the City Lights on the Hella headlight. Just have to put the toggle switch in line with the supply wire to the little bulbs. But first I need to confirm that the two wires currently attached to the switch are fused (i.e. connected to the fuse box where the E. Pump fuse is located...if there is a fuse there).
Any glaring flaws to my thoughts on this?

I don't see any 'glaring flaws' - but have you thought about wiring them to the parking / running lights circuit? Alternatively you could set them up as DRLs, either with a DRL module or a relay that powers them up when the ignition is on. |

"I don't see any 'glaring flaws' - but have you thought about wiring them to the parking / running lights circuit" :o
Of course! Just splice directly into the hot lead of the parking light harness, which is right there!!!! I'm sure it wouldn't be too much more of a current draw on that circuit - not to the point where it would blow the fuse. |

Spliced, diced and connected! Now I have city lights! Tapped right into the parking light 'hot' wire.
My apologies for the rotated view. Happens every time I attach a photo.

Resurrecting this thread....is there a Hella 7" headlamp with City Light that is designed for LHD vehicles (RHT)? This would be a direct factory replacement for the current Hella I have which is designed for RHD vehicles (LHT). A part number would be greatly appreciated.
