More headlight stuff
Daniel Stern Lighting has suggested that, instead of spending 400+ bucks on Hella H4s, that one get the 356/VW headlight bucket from JC Whitney <http://makeashorterlink.com/?A1802228C> for $50 and put the Cibie 7" H4s in them, all at about 2/3 the cost of the Hella setup, including bulbs, relays, wiring, etc.
Has anyone tried this? Opinions?
Further, the bucket JC sells has a chrome trim ring. An unplated/unpainted one'd be far nicer. Any knowledge? (I have asked the 356 people separately).
Thanks!

I'd be interested in the results. I had Cibie H4s in an RX7 way back when in 1980. By far, the best headlight I have used. Great on low beams, white light and a good pattern. Awesome on high beams.

The black caps on the red rings look like the original rubber adjustment plugs that are on the 964 - that are sometimes painted over- these look just like hte wweere left as plain rubber - If they are not needed then they, as Darry l said, could be plugged and then painted - you could move the holes to the 4 and 8 o'clock position to facilitate the new adjustment positions. This is very interesting option. You use a standard Cibie 7" light - with what lense ???

Has anyone else done this? I'd like to see more pics.
I have sent Daniel Stern an email about it, but in the meantime, wouldn't mid hearing from those that have done it.
