Need help on Headlight

[nammon]

What would be the correct type of headlight for 1969? I have seen many type of headlight H1, H4 etc for sale. So would like to be sure to order the most correct one for my car

Best Regards,

my car has some H1. The lights are going for about 1500 NOS in the european market. you can get used ones for 700-1000 in good conditions. let me find a pic for you


take care

the H1 lights , the glass sticks out not like the american lights that are sunken in. They have two lights in each. one for driving and one for high beam . There are 4 screws on the outer ring. two screws for each lights.





hope that helps Namon

Sugar scoops (but with incorrect black plastic inserts):

Thank you for a very useful information. So I think I will have to look for a H1 headlight.

Attached Pictures is the fender that I am going to put on my car. Is the housing/carrier (don't really know what to call) perfectly correct/fit with the H1 headlight?

No, that part is only for the sealed beam / sugar scoop lights and is removed when you mount H1's (four cheese head screws attach it to the bucket). The H1's mount to the lip of the large opening at the top and the screw flange at the bottom. Make sure the screw flange is in good shape, yours looks a little bent.

You can go for the h4 assemblies...Easier to put n a retro fit..looks like the h1...just the high beam in the same light
