Sorry, I do not have one. I am looking for the bulb myself.

Headlight with replaceable bulb

if you are doing a full restore, you probably want to confirm that your unit is not aftermarket. I am not an expert on these headlight units, but I don't see the spring clip that is on yours when I look at my parts manual.

The more I learn about these bikes and research about this headlamp, the more convinced I am that this was OEM for Canadian designated Dreams. Every Canadian bike I am aware of has this headlamp. Remember this when proclaiming that sealed beams were OEM. They certainly were...for the U.S. market. ;-)
