plymouthcolt,

I see your signature says your car is a 88. Are your headlights the original units from the factory or have they been upgraded to the European H4 assemblies?

If they are the original headlights, then your lenses are H5 lenses. There is a big difference. Take a look @ the bottom, middle of the lens and I think there is the H5 marking above the Bosch logo? The H5 units are indeed those which have lenses permanently affixed to the reflector housing. Translation: if you need a new lens, you must get the entire reflector housing.

If your lights are the European H4 units, then ignore what I said. jpahemi is right on.

For others who are curious, the H5 is on the left and the Euro H4
is on the right.
