I have an ’86 Carrera with the older style headlights. I want to update them to the newer style that became standard in ‘87. Is this called H-4 or Euro? What is needed to do the conversion? I will want the rings painted red, not chrome.

Thanks in advance!

check out this tech article from the Pelican website. I think it will give you all you need to do the upgrade. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti..._headlamps.htm

Billy, the newer cars have H5 headlights. They look externally similar to the H4's and H1's, but they are not. Lot's of people say the H4's are much better than the H5's.

I think your looking for the Euro H-4 conversion lights w/ optional trim rings. This setup will run about the same as the 87-89 US H-5 setup, and many feel the H-4's are a superior light design.

I recently upgraded mine to the euro H-4 design & had a local body shop paint mine guards red to match my paint. He charged me $50 to prime & paint. Lighting is MUCH better and I think it looks better also.

Can anyone post a link or describe how to install the RELAY that you need to run the H-4s? I've got the headlights, but no relay yet. Any photos/ wiring diagrams? Thanks
