Are these the replacment for getting ride of the stock sealed beam headlights?

Yes, they bolt right in place of the stock sealed beam lights. These lights actually work, as opposed to the Xenon look alikes. They have extremely good optics, the cut-off on low beam is like a razor. The bulbs are seperate from the lenses.

Hella is a division of Bosch. These lights were available in Europe as the stock headlight.

Hmmmm....I may be interested in these. These are the HID type, right? Legal here or not?

Not HID, they are H4 (Halogen) bulbs. Not legal, technically. I have been using these type of lights since the early '80s with never an issue. They are so well focused that they do not blind, like the other cheap junk out there. They work well because of the optics, not the brightness.

No gay blue, sorry :)). These are the regular H4 bulbs. I think they are 55/80W. 80/100W's are available.

I have a set of them too.
Let say you are parked in your driveway, facing you garage door:
When you have them on low, you see a nice crisp horizontal line up to right in front of the beam, then the line goes up, incline at about 30 degres.
On Hi, this light separation disapers, and everything light up.

Got 'em tonight. Will (hopefully, if I have time) install them over the weekend.

BTW, don't you think you should have used a bigger box to ship 'em in???? :D

Not quite that big...ballpark, 30x45x60cm

Way too big for two headlights. But, hey, it's all good. I'll find a use for it. Anyone want to buy a s**tload of old 'puter parts? :eek:

On thing for sure, they are easy to align, since there is a visible distinction of the "break" point.

Put 'em in two weeks ago and took the car out for a night drive Saturday. I love 'em! I'll probably get a set for the Redpra, too.

They are great, aren't they. I have a set in the Miata that came from a Toyota PU I had in 1982. I knew someday I would have a round headlight car again. Glad you like them. You will really like them in fog, snow or rain.
