Round headlight buckets abound in the yards of chris and bent. Add h4 EURO E-CODE NON DOT 7" sharp cutoff headlights, two relays from CTonline, 12AWG power fused from the Battery + and you have the pensioner version of better lighting. Although standard 60/55 bulbs are dim enough for most, adding 80/100 will give you a significantly better low beam pattern. Adjust these critters correctly and you won't dazzle the plebians or garner the hairy eyeball from the local gendarmerie. Now whup up upon a two holer if you're bent or a two holer grille if you're, not clip out the inner mounting doodads from your body so the grille will fit correctly and it's done. You can jacklight tarantulas at 1000m on high beam or fry toads at 20m on low. Sell the removed delicacies to a dyed in the wool preservationist for spares for his ride. Pocket the change or buy a spare lens for the inevitable evolutionary death of one of the headlights.

Or for those of you with more substantial pocket books the 5.75 + 7" sets from BustDepot or Kenagain can be had for ~275USD plus handling packaging shipping and insurance.

For the top shelf tequila sniffers the EEYOROPEEIN GENUINE VOLKSWAGEN MADE IN CHCHNYA E-code right is different from left rectangulars are a slip fit (tell em what that means, bent) into the standard setup and are FAR SUPERIOR to the standard dweezily gotta strike a match to see if they're working DOT approved liverwurst hammers that grace your elegant steed now. FastForward has em and he's a good dealer.

I have a limited supply of 7" round new E-Code headlights w/60/55 bulbs for sale at $35 a pair. Not Bosch, Not Cibie, Not Hella, Not Carello, Not Lucas just reasonable lights for a reasonable price.
