I know the original US headlights for our cars were the sealed type and not H4's but who made them Hella or Bosch and what did they look like? Are NOS or reproductions currently available today? What would the concours judges consider correct?

On purchase, my '74 2.0 had one Wagner and one Sylvania H4 headlight so I recently replaced both with a set of Hella 70476, same as in the link to busdepot.com. Mine came in original, but unsealed Hella boxes and were made in Germany.
Does anyone know exactly what E Code means? Euro approved? Mine came with no mention of E Code but did have stickers on the lens saying that they were "not cetified as meeting any Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard". I had the impression that they were not E Code until seeing the listing for the busdepot.com set stating that they are, also the same number 70476. It would be nice to know if they are approved for use somewhere, for something. They do seem to have light disbursement for left-hand drive. Does anyone know more about these? |
