    Hella headlight options

    Two questions.....first, will the Hella Euro headlight buckets (pictured) fit an early SWB and will the finish trim rings that I currently have on the car fit these new headlights? It looks like the adjustment screw locations at 2 and 8 o'clock, on the new rings, appear to be in the same position......has anyone tried this before? I know I could always have the bottom tabs on the new rings removed and modified if I wanted.

    second.....could the same Euro headlight look be accomplished by simply purchasing new H4 headlights from someone like Pelican or Sierra Madre and changing out the glass lenses to the fluted Euro non-shelf type?

    What would be the most cost effective way to go? The Hella Euro headlights on German EBay list for $240.00/pair and the typical H4 headlights at Sierra Madre are listed for $410/pair.

    Any advise would be helpful.

    Thanks,
    Jeff
