I don't think you need to do anything - straight bolt in.Ed
To measure is to know.

Hi
Did you get an H4 headlight conversion kit? Depending on the size (6", 7") you may or may not be able to use the stock headlight ears. But there are generic aftermarket ears that will work. Otherwise it should be "plug and play".
Thank you for your indulgence,

ok so i modded the headlamp to accept the new bulb bc it WAS a sealed bulb...not anymore...and i put a 55 watt bulb and soldered it in...works like it was made for it...im happy!Comment

Are you saying that you broke the back of the reflector on the sealed beam and inserted an H4 bulb?
You won't likely be able to see anything on the road and will also likely be blinding everybody that is coming at you. The filaments in the H4 will not be lined up with where the original filaments were, so they won't be focused in the same places.
