2 7/8" from the mounting surface to the end of the boot. Boot diameter is 2 3/16". You can always open up the hole in the bucket if the boot is larger.

Those brackets are what keeps the headlight from rotating in the bucket, they're molded into sealed beams so they're not as noticeable. Cibie brackets fit into the bucket just like sealed beams do, don't have a set of Hella's or Bosch lights to check.

From what I've seen with Bosch lights (others may be the same?), motorcycle lights don't have the glare shield built in that covers the front of the bulb since they're prone to fatigue and break loose from shaking. Cars don't shake/vibrate as much so they don't have that problem.
