As far as round ones go, if you're going large VINTAGE, Cibie's are the ones to get. If you're after a little smaller, but still round, the Hella's that were stock on old '70's Benz's are excellent (and period correct, as well). If it's NEW equipment you want, Hella has started making a reproduction of the old Benz lights - I think they are model number 160 and you can get them at Susquehanna Motorsports for about $80.00. By the by, they also have BOTH rear fog light designs that Hella makes.
ONE last plug - I happen to have a set of the old Hella Benz type lights that I pieced together before I found the Cibies I have on my '73 2002 Targa. These lights are in near PERFECT condition - the crhrome is great; the reflectors are great, and the bulbs are great. One last thing about these particular lights - the mounting hardware is AS GOOD as it gets. This is to say, Ive been though new brand new Hella's, old Cibies, but these Hella's mount with absolutley NO shaking or vibration. You cannot say this about ANY of those other lights.
God, I'm sorry I went on so long.....
