Hello Al,<br>
<br>
Are H4 lights/lamps legal in the US or is it sealed beam only?<br>
In Europe most cars used H4 head lights from the late 1960&#39;s apart from=
 the UK where they used sealed beams (RHD) for a long time after that. Even=
 today some cars use H4.<br>
H4 was superseded with H7 systems during the 90&#39;s. These systems were i=
nferior to the H4 system as reflector design was not precise enough and the=
 cut of was poor often causing blinding of oncoming traffic. Most upmarket =
cars are now equipped with bespoke HID systems.<br>
<br>
If H4 is legal in the USA it is a matter of purchasing fitting H4 head lamp=
 units (Hella, Cibier, Lucas etc. as fitted to Land Rover, Triumph, classic=
 Mini etc.) and fitting HID bi-xenon H4 light sets. You can check Ebay wher=
e to find them in your place of the world.<br>
