Hi All,
can anyone please confirm the correct H4 Hella headlight part number for use in the UK ? i.e. driving on the left. The PET doesn't show it just the porsche part number. I've got sealed beam US units in mine and want to replace. thanks Chris. |

In the U.K. He needs the H4 lens/reflectors that are for driving on the left. The asymmetrical low beam cutoff is flipped on lights for those locales. Not something we se here in the states. I suspect that the Hella part number for such light skin is eith one number higher or lower than for driving on the right.

Cibies might be an option Jon, just seen the Hellas as a popular option. Just couldn't find them for driving on the left. |

Thinking about it I think my Irish donor shell (originally sold in Scotland) had one manky looking Hella and it's in a crate along with other random bits. I will dig it out and see what it says |
