Subject:Re: E-code square headlight set - $?

Chris, there are two problems going with the square H4 lights right
now.  The first is that they are discontinued so new ones aren't to be
easily found and if you can find them they are going to be expensive.
The second problem is that a couple of the head light adjusters are NLA
right now so even if you can get the square light housings you are going
to run into the problem of having to use old adjusters or rig up
something yourself.  Neither is a fun option.  The simplest way to go
would be to stay with the round lights and just get good quality H4
housings for that.  I recommend Hella, Bosch or Cibie.  Don't get the
super cheap India ones as they are trash (the sealed beams are nicer,
seriously).  You get the housings, bulbs, and you are good to go.
Just my opinion.
