Valeo/Cibie have discontinued them, these days they're like rocking horse poo to find a set.

The halo lights were imported from summit racing in the US. The original glass ones were ok but they went all plastic cheap Chinese crap with blue LEDs and were poo. I refused to use them anymore.

Amazing when you consider how many cars & trucks used the same headlights as the D that they're that hard to get hold of now...

Well the original sealed beams are easily available. Its ones with sidelight bulbs that are hard to get as they never used them in the states.
