Remember this headlight is for Germany it dips to the right hand side therefore not the side of the road you are on. Yes it takes globes not sealed, I bought one for an SR500 but yes its not meant for Australia wher the beam is not dipped either side

Here s one from Germany ...there is some past talk of certain yrs of the SR 500 having an 8 in headlight.
Maybe you could ask the seller to place a tape measure across the lens and take a pic...to confirm it is lens that is 8 in and not the bucket .
May pay to ask...that it is a halogen insert lamp and not the sealed beam type.
