SC New Hella 5x7 H4 E-code Headlights with City Lights

[theastronaut]

Pair of new Hella H4's with city light built in. Can use the city light as a running /park light. These are glass lens and metal body, made in Germany- very high quality. No bulbs included. Add a relay harness and 80/100w bulbs and you'll have the best lighting available other than retrofitting HID projectors. $125 plus shipping.

The lights marked E1 are used in Germany which drives on the left side of the road. The light pattern on those will rise on the left which will produce a glare to oncoming drivers here in the US. Just FYI.

ECE/EEC Marking: Headlamp Suitability for Traffic Direction

This is a very important marking. All low ("passing", "lower", "dipped") beams are an asymmetrical distribution of light to give maximum seeing in the direction of travel while controlling glare light directed towards oncoming traffic. A headlamp intended for use in traffic that flows on the right side of the road must never be used on the left side of the road, nor must a left-traffic headlamp ever be used on the right side of the road. A wrong-side-of-road headlamp does not provide adequate illumination for the driver to see what he needs to see in order to drive safely, and severely blinds oncoming traffic. This cannot be corrected by adjusting the aim of the lamp, because traffic-handedness is intrinsic in the optics of the lamp. This means it is very unsafe to use UK-spec, Australian-spec, or Japanese-spec ("JDM") headlamps in the United States, Canada, Continental Europe or any other location that drives on the right side of the road. Many performance parts dealers are illegally importing and selling JDM or wrong-side-of-road ECE headlamps into North America, and touting them as a "performance improvement". They may or may not have ECE headlamp markings, but they are not a performance improvement -- they are a danger.

These are for right hand traffic. The wedge shaped fluting in the lens is on the driver's side of the lamp, so the upward part of the low beam pattern will be to the right side of the road. I've had 8-10 pairs of Hella, Cibie, or Bosch e-codes for right hand traffic and the wedge shape is always on the driver side for right hand traffic. I can post pictures of the beam pattern if needed.

I stand corrected. I did some more research and your lights are correct for left hand drive. I hope my posts did not deter any potential sales.

I would like to see the pattern on a wall at night. I may consider these for my Nissan D21.

I'm snowed in, will be tomorrow before I can post beam shots.

Do they fit 1986 C10 single headlight per side, Scottsdale?

Interested, PM sent.

Pretty sure they will, I think the dual headlight trucks came with 4x6 and single light trucks were 5x7". To answer your pm, these have a better beam pattern than DOT Hella's. The vision plus Hella's are basically a sealed beam with a replaceable bulb, the beam isn't really improved over standard sealed beams.

Picture below of headlight in frame, frame opening for headlight is 5 1/4 - by 7 1/2 at widest point. The sides curvature is symmetrical top to bottom.
The lens outer most face is 5 by 7 1/4 inches.

Need more pics to see if fits let me know.

Thanks for the additional information. Still want them if they fit in original fixture and bulbs are available. Is the bulb both high and low in one?

They'll fit, they take H4 bulbs. Stock wattage is 55/60, you can get those at any parts store. You can use 55/100 or 80/100w bulbs for more light if you upgrade the wiring harness.
