old plow headlights

i'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, its the best i could come up with. if it is in the wrong place, please move to correct forum.

i'm looking for a source for the old plow headlights, the round ones that would have come on most of our trucks. i cant seem to find them. i dont want rectangular lights with round lights on the truck.

I have exactly the same lights on the plow frame on my truck. On the top they are stamped DIETZ 9-82 SAE-H. Might be worth a google search. I bet the 9-82 is the date they were manufactured though.

those look exactly the same, just no turn signals. i beleive the turnsignal peice is plastic, so it would probably come off... or it its metal i can cut it off and weld it onto that...
