I'm looking for a set of 5.75" driving/spot/fog lamps - they fir in
the Midas Bronze bumper so 6" units are too big. Cheers in advance!

That should of course be "they fit in the Midas..."

5-3/4" and 7" are the two standard sizes for circular headlights (not
externally mounted driving lights).

5-3/4" high beam only lights are used on the inner pair of a set of 4 on
many older cars. I would think BMW are the most recent cars with good
quality 5-3/4" inners you might find at a wrecker in the UK.

You can buy new Cibie ones as "Mk2 Escort RS2000" main beam
from motorsport vendors like Demon Tweeks.

Cibie, Hella, any of the european brands should be good quality.

Yeah, but we prefer not to mention that, just keep it locked in the attic.
