Headlight help!

Okay, I have a pair of h5 heads with H4 lenses which I bought dirt cheap...one fits my SC fine but the trim ring on the other has more screw holes and seems to be slightly too small...is there an answer for this? Is it poss. bent? Could I replace with h4 rings?

As always, thanks for your help,

Rob

If you have H4 lenses then you need H4 rings.

If he has only the lens, that might not be the case. But, the H4 lens was not designed for the layout of the H5 light, AFAIK. Might be something to look into because I have a set of both.

If the lamp (bulb) isn't in the exact same spot in the H5 as the H4, the lens won't work properly. Your light pattern may be all screwed up.
