H4 headlight conversion question
 
I just bought a Hella h4 kit and the glass on the lights is flat.
Is there an h4 light that has curved glass like the original?
Anyone have a Hella part#?

Thanks in advance

Try this. Put one in my Harley, exact fit and works well. Good shipping too. They probably have other sizes if you need something else

The lights I bought and the lights in your link both show 107mm measurement from front to back. Both also look the same, it would be nice if they said flat or convex lens

Here's a link to what I got http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hla-002395801

These are flat lenses and don't look right to me on an old car, I just want to make sure I order the right part this time

I had Cibie H4 lights in my 48 for a long time until the reflectors got scuzzy. Best lights I have ever driven with with 55/100 bulbs in them. I think the number is Cibie 082440 Light Unit

Lets see if this works. Amazon.com: Cibie 082440 Light Unit: Automotive Amazon.com: Cibie 082440 Light Unit: Automotive

Those Cibie lights do look like they have more of a curve to the glass. Here's a picture of the Hella and stock light side by side to show the difference I'm talking about.
Do the Cibie lights have a curve closer to stock? Also thanks for the link.
