I bought the kit from BusDepot and have always been happy with them.
I bought the Pilot light setup from Craig as well and was thrilled with it (until my car crashed). I'll be buying another set for the new car. |

QUOTE(kconway @ Feb 10 2010, 10:35 AM)  Looking at the Bus Depot page, there are 2 or 3 dozen parts, which fits the 914 application? Type 2 (lots of years), Ghia, Rabbits, SB, Thing, Type 1, Type 3 and vanagon. All of the 7" round H4 lights are the same (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I picked up a pair of these H4's from Bus Depot and I'm having trouble installing them. The housings have small standoffs that index with the headlight bucket/frame. One of the Bosch housings indexes correctly, the other will only line up when clocked 90 degrees from where the Bosch housing says "TOP".
What am I missing here? Standoffs on Bosch housing  Headlight bucket/frame slots or notches for standoffs   |

Hold the phone! There DOES NOT appear to be a problem with this kit. I believe I had one of the headlight buckets assembled incorrectly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Let me just mention one other thing about this. I sent Ron from Bus Depot a PM about the problem I was having and he responded within minutes and helped me through this issue. I must say, that is real customer service. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks again Ron! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Kev |

Bus Depot is a good parts source, bought lots of goodies from them. Nice explanation on the H4's, the more we know the better... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I put Hella H-4's with 60/100w bulbs in my street car recently. Money well spent. They're illegal with the 60/100 bulbs but nobody has flashed their brights at me so they're not too bright. I was worried about blinding everyone but it seems to be OK.

There was a local tv news article ( Nashville , TN ) concerning the use of "blue " headlights and it seems that the police ( local / state ) are going to be cracking down on them , not sure how this would affect the H4's , but it seems that the blues are brighter than standards , just a cautious heads up , as other states may be on the lookout.
