If you think that the light pattern is bad with the Hellas, you should try the sealed-beam lights they gave us here in the US. I put Hella H-4's on mine and the difference is night and day!!! Sealed beam lights was the way the DOT forced foreign manufactures to put American products in our cars....the standards have now been relaxed somewhat, but newer 9004 lamps have a rubber seal on it to seal the lamp housing from the elements and still don't work as well as the Euro H-4's.
