Saw a pair sell on Ebay a while ago, and another pair sold here.
I wasnt ready to buy then.
I'd like to buy a pair now.

I've had good luck with 928 Intl, three new sets, and one set of used that went for half price.

Need the whole 8" setup, with mounting hardware. Not just the bulbs.

If you're looking for used H4s, I think your best bet is probably ebay. They do pop up occasionally (rarely).

I got mine new from Roger and yes, they are spendy. I was, however, able to ebay my H5s for $305 which offset some of the expense.

We do have 2 new ones in stock and yes they are expensive. Used seem to get sold the day they arrive.

I am going to replace mine with 2 U.S H4 but I have not decided if I was going to keep the originals or not.
Make me an offer I cant refuse in a PM,
and give me time to installed the used ones to make sure all is well
I am not in a hurry to sell though.

Brad you have me confused... you talk of US H4's - do you just mean RHD H4's? (none were sold in the USA as stock).

However assuming you still have the LHD H4's from the cars original Japanese config - these won't be useful to a poster from Scottdale since even in Arizona (despite the rather odd political climate) - we do still drive on the right hand side...

I have 7" H4's and they're so bright I feel self-conscious about it. And I like the look of the silver rings around them.

Can't imagine how bright the H5's must be...

All you need are the lamps, bulbs and some easily purchased metric nuts (probably best to have nylocks).

For an early car you don't even need to change the wiring connectors.
