And thanks to you, Tincan1966, for the heads-up on the surgery required behind the grill-and-buckets to install these deeper lights into. I recall the shallow depth behind the originals from when I did the relay project. At least that's what I think you are referring to: making cutouts thru front of the fenders.

No there is no cutting of the fenders, radiator support or any of that, just the headlight bucket itself, and I have only run into this with the aftermarket light (Chinese and Taiwan) sold on E BAy. They have a larger rubber dust/moisture boot that covers the connector. That is the hole I was referring to-the original one where the wire plugs into the headlamp.
theastronaut: I agree, using better quality parts is probably a slam dunk, but the thread refers to the cheap ones on E Bay.
Would you share your Cibie part number?
