Re: [T3] H4 hella headlight assembly

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

Yes, the US spec is different, but they want the Euro-style H4 (LHD) which
uses a separate bulb.  Why doesn't someone import them to the US and
satisfy the demand, if there is one?
AFAIK, they screw onto the three tags in the front fender, and use the
one-hole chrome ring, like the US lamps.  Our lamps have the two extra
adjustment holes in the chrome ring, so wouldn't be as suitable.

Thanks for the pic.
