Getting H4 bulbs to fit in the headlight bucket
I bought H4 lenses from Classic Industries. The rubber ring on the back of the headlight doesn't fit through the smaller hole that the stock headlights fit into.
The question for anyone that is running upgraded lenses or JK headlights...did you have to hog out the headlight bucket to get the headlight to fit? |

Re: Getting H4 bulbs to fit in the headlight bucket
I didn't. I'm running Hella 7in round H4 glass.
Are you sure the rubber ring on the back doesn't come off to insert the glass into the bulkhead and the bulb into the glass, and then go over all that?

Yeah...I thought of that after I posted the question...I'll try removing the rubber ring tomorrow.

Re: Getting H4 bulbs to fit in the headlight bucket
I bought some low price H4's from Classic Industries. http://www.classicindustries.com/pro.../cp500127.html
I did What Rich Weyand suggested and they fit. I also used the relay kit from Classic Industries, http://www.classicindustries.com/pro...s/mx01132.html The difference was amazing...very pleased with the results...but then one of the little plastic headlamp adjusting screws broke. lol |
