Euro H4 Install Question

[Jubbie]

Hey,

I just got my Euro H4's and am ready to install. Is there a 'right' and 'left' unit on these?

Thanks

[jazzbass]

No. They're the same.

Yeah whats the deal with fittment on these things?? They surely don't clip on the top of the fender very well!!

No, they sure don't. I dropped one on the freeway the other day. Duct tape is your best friend.

[mb911]

Oh great Just what I want! I wish they just fit a little better. ANybody Know the solution??

I bent the upper tab outward with pliers a touch. Also, look at the back of the h4's and make sure the wire "supports" that are around the inside of the h 4 aren't in the way of the upper lip. When I bought mine they were in the way out of the box - had to rearrange 'em.

Make sure you have the special two piece screw. If some suppliers will tell you to use the USA 1 piece screw and that will work. Don't believe 'em, they came out of the factory with the two piece stainless screws.

Good luck

I 'll check it out

Never had any problems fitting Euro H4 headlamps to early 911's/912's I imported from the US.

All sets of Bosch H4's I've bought in the UK & Germany have had a single-piece chrome screw as the bottom retainer - I thought the 2-piece ones came with the paintable trim rings ?

the two peice screws are made for the paintable trim rings. A single screw will work if you have the primered finish or the chrome.

I ran into the same problem a month ago. Here is a link to my thread and what I did to fix the problem.

I also found these easier to install when the rubber "surround" that cushions against the body work is old and "somewhat" compressed...instead of brand-spanking new.

Tanks Guys,

I'm off to buy some more duct tape.
