Yes, they will fit. Search Hella 7" round headlamps. Another good upgrade are the stock headlamps off the newer Jeeps. People upgrade them and sell the stock ones cheap.

I believe the Hella headlamps are available in both sealed beam and replaceable H4 bulb versions. Both should be DOT approved. Suggest the replacement H4 bulb version.
A better headlamp is the French Cibie. Here are some comparisons: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefo...i67.EtG8BVaMSGQ A better choice are Cibie Z-Beams. Much brighter than Bosch H4s or Hellas. The Z-Beams were also reknowned for their sharp vertical low-bam cutoff. Original versions were discontinued in the 90's. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911...headlights.html This and other websites sell replica Z-Beams: https://www.sportsandclassics.com/parts/tri...-conversion-h4/ Amazon reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Cibie-082440-Light-U...2c565716c90aa17 Sherwood |
