Thanks for this, Karl. The PO of our van replaced the original rectangular headlights with buckets (from a Jeep, I think) and H6054 halogen sealed beams, so now I know that going 'the rest of the way' to e-code is easy. (Had e-code Hellas on a Rabbit, and on my parents Austin, Datsun and Dodge in the early '80s and loved them.)

On cruising round the web, I note that Daniel Stern lighting has Cibie 200mm lights, more cheaply than Susquehanna Motorsport has the Hellas! There are some that claim that the Cibies are better than the Hellas...
