I believe they are headlight units from early '90s BMW 3 Series.

an excellent replacement is:
Valeo standard 130 route H1, HR H1

it's the same light but with a rounded glass which makes it less prone to cracks

can't help you there, I live in Holland

coincidently, I fitted them myself today. They look excellent, much better than the originals. It's a 95% fit on the original bracket, but the rubber band (500 only) keeps it in place well. Used some strong tape on the back to be sure.

When you fnd them, it's a good idea to get some protectors too so it doesn't happen again.
