Original Headlight Lens?

Just replaced both of my headlight lenses on my '84 FB due to one being dead and one being dim and cracked. The one that was dead has "KOITO" on the front of the lens. Is this possibly the original lens? Sounds Japanese and it says "Japan" in printing on the back. Just curious if I just pulled a 25 year old lens out. (It felt a little weird putting "Wagner" lenses back on.)

"If it's not Scoatish it's cRRap!" I'll bet you use those headlights a lot up there in the great white north.

Not with 22hrs of sun in mid-summer! And the Beloved is bedded down over the winter, so really only a few weeks a year they are handy - whereas for most of you Outside guys, its headlights most every night. Would go insane w/o 'em down there...

On a semi-related note, my driver side bulb doesn't always come on. If I tap it with my finger just once, it immediately lights up though. Bad connection?
