Those headlights will cost you at least 15HP and will ruin the paint on your car. Send them to me and I'll properly dispose of them.
 Don't look like either my H1's or H4's, I'm interested to find out.

Adam, mine are exactly the same, except with the chrome trim. They are H4's and I was told they are quite unique. Not sure why though?

yep the upper ridge does not seem to match the H4 type, instead it looks like it's bevel is at an increased angle.

Looks like the "early" ( 60's) version front glass as used by Porsche and even VW's..... bulb "inside" can be almost anything but usually H4's.

Take a look at a VW Bus...you might find the lenses there. Even if I'm wrong, great custom work by a P.O....the look is cool. How is the beam pattern at night? You see okay?

European '65 thru '67 headlamps utilizing Type 'A' non-Halogen bulb ... both left-hand and right-hand versions available! E1 4487 was lens for left-hand drive vehicles.
Similar assemblies were used on European VW and 356 models, but they had a tab for mounting to the fenders ... rather than the recessed screw!
