Hello Al,

Are H4 lights/lamps legal in the US or is it sealed beam only?
In Europe most cars used H4 head lights from the late 1960's apart from =
the UK where they used sealed beams (RHD) for a long time after that. =
Even today some cars use H4.
H4 was superseded with H7 systems during the 90's. These systems were =
inferior 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.

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 where to find them in your place of the world.

Cheers,
Kees
