Yes. You can find cheaper with city lights (India made)on Fleabay, but that's a good headlight at a decent price.

I don't know if this is a good deal - I think it is - for 7" headlamps with replaceable bulbs.
<http://www.busdepot.com/0301600118/>
The bulbs are not included.

I have a set of these on my '78. Being Bosch, they have a better pattern than the eBay ones (Autopal) with city lights. And even the Autopal (ebay) lights were better than the normal sealed beams. <http://m000035.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html>
I later changed the headlights to the Bus Depot Bosch H4 lights Larry was asking about. Note they are considered "motorcycle use only" by US DOT. While fairly happy with the high beam, the low beam isn't quite as wide as I would like... but still better than any other 7" headlight I have tried.
Maybe I am just to picky... I think I might just have to get some cornering lights.

What is the purpose of "city lights"?
|
"Colloquial city light terminology for front position lamps derives from the practice, formerly adhered to in cities like Moscow, London and Paris, of driving at night in built-up areas using these low-intensity lights rather than headlamps.[21] It is now illegal in many countries to drive a vehicle with parking lamps illuminated, unless the headlamps are also illuminated."
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_lighting>
Basically they are now used like parking or marker lights.
