head light conversion

Need to replace crappy sealed beams with H 4 clear lamp an i assumed i just cut a hole in the bobbys helmutt to remove /replace bulbs once i have screwed new headlight to existing light bowl. am i thinkin right. Any advice welcome.

Eh - no the H4 unit comes out and you take the bulb out the back.

Get new buckets unless the ones you have are in good nick. only £7 each.

Here is a picture of the bucket and the headlight unit.

A new chrome ring (see first photo) comes with the bucket, that attaches to the sealed unit using little clips - (see second picture). You then locate the ring into the bucket and there are N/S E/W adjusting screws to get the levels right, and a locking screw which holds it in place. When you want to change the H4, all you do is undo the locking screw and slide the unit out the adjusting screws, re-lamp and away you go.

I bet the ring on the sealed beams is a bit mangled.

Thanks verry much for that.

i have just replaced my lamps and the only thing i had to replace were the metal rings as they have had a good hiding off our lovely british weather, dont forget to line the lights up afterwards ,any mot station will oblige for a small fee

sorted. thanks for your replies.
