Started to get a shudder while driving from the right headlight on the '74 BMW with period Cibie Iodes. The lamps are in great overall shape, a very little bit cloudy but they are probably ~45 years old. Started to remove the lamp and the cause of the vibration became clear when the lens fell off. The other one was still together, but then came apart as I removed it. First time I've seen this happen.
Being an unrepentant pack rat, I went upstairs and got a NOS set of slightly later Cibies I had just for this reason.
