I also have a set installed. Yes, you have to do some cutting for the second
bulb.
Main problem is that the locating lugs on the bulb are too small for the MGB
retaining ring & the bulbs rattle around. I talked to Zorn about this & all
I got was a shrug & a suggestion that I make some spacers. Considering that
they are advertised to fit an MG, I found the answer less than satisfying.
Not sure I will order anything more from them that is not a factory part.

Subject: Headlight positioning
Somehow I have lost the last flurry of advice on headlights . The light
bowls and inner rim for my under-construction1970 MGB GT V8 are the same
thus are not handed. But there is a right way to put them in. I think
someone said that the adjuster screws had to be at 12 and 9 o'clock on BOTH
sides. Is that correct?
I also bought some Autopal 178mm Halogen head light units from LBCCo in
Detroit and wonder if anyone has fitted them yet. They have a secondary
bulb which I wonder about (parking or driving?) and they will not fit
inside the inner ring - So do I cut the inner ring to accommodate or is the
extra bulb power just not worth it??
Regards
Barrie
