Discontinued headlight lamp...replacement?

Hello,
I'm having great trouble trying to find a replacement headlight for my 1982 KZ250 ltd.

It's a Stanley 001-1047
12v 35/25w
EC-28
sealed light

The kawi part number is 23007 043

I've been to two kawi dealers, 2 bike salvage places, even a lighting store and am not having any luck whatsoever.

I know it's been used for other years of bikes as well.

Any ideas? Any car headlights that might work? I can't ride until this is fixed which sucks!

Thanks very much in advance!

If you want to stick with the stock wattage, I'd suggest checking at J.C. Whitney.com or Drag Specialties.com.
They tend to carry things that most places don't.
