Hi, looking for right front light for '64 Ninety Eight. I didn't find it on rockauto and do not know other source.
Any advice where to get it?

I got my right low beam for my 1978 98 at walmart. Same exact thing as the one it was replacing. Just look at the code or whatnot and compare. Easy as pie.

Jura, is this the sealed beam lamp itself, or do you need the chrome housing assembly?

I'm surprised CZ didn't require an upgrade to Euro-spec lamps. You should be able to find 5-1/4" diameter sealed beams online though. I think I would order at least one complete set of low and high beams, maybe two. That way you have spares, and shipping from US would be about the same as for one.

Krichen- Wal Marts are everywhere, but I'm not sure they have them in Czechoslovakia.

I need just a lamps.
- Wal Mart is not present in Czechia.
- I need to order it from US, hope that rockauto will have it.
- Upgrade for EU parameters is required just for modern cars imported from US. Historic vehicles are registered in special regimen (special car plates, some limitations for use), so they are accepted without upgrade.
- BTW Czechoslovakia do not exist from 1993, from that time we are 2 separated countries :-) - Czech republic and Slovakia

Do they have any online store?

Despite 40 years of blody communism we passed till 1989 there is a lot of US cars in Czechia:-), but Oldsmobile 98 from early sixties there is only one - mine:-)

Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to find sealed beam headlights anymore? My local Wally Mart hasn't restocked their headlight selection in about six months. Even Advance Auto has a very limited supply.
