I don't know if there are 2 types of GP bulb holder but would guess so, probably more.
There are 2 types of Vega headlight however, only 1 of which I understand is compatable with a GP bulb holder.
Mine is although it didn't appear so at 1st. I think I have the CEV headlight but will check later & report back.

Hi Bruce, GP type block goes with CEV unit. The Aprillia one uses a brown bakealite/ hard plastic style block. hope this helps...Steve

Trotsky really knows his stuff and I'll only confirm his answer by adding that a GP bulb holder fitted my CEV headlight (checked it is earlier) when I found out which way round to put it! :oops:
