Hella Headlights

[Lunchbox88]

I have only seen brief mentions of people using Hella headlights in their GS buckets so I was wondering if I ordered something like this Hella 7" H4 light:

http://www.amazon.com/HELLA-002395991-Type-Single-Headlamp/dp/B0002M9QJM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

If it would fit in a normal 7" motorcycle headlight bucket like this one on Z1:

Thanks,

It would fit and it would work, but the light pattern would be optimized for a car.

Good to know, so would I be better off with this Bosch one : http://store.candlepower.com/fco7h4mohebd.html
Or is there one accepted as a better quality unit?

Hella does make a motorcycle lamp and they are high quality

The Bosch one should be OK

I'll bet you could get your local auto parts store to order you one

I use the Candlepower reflector and have been very happy with it, so that or the Bosch would be fine.

I have two of the Bosch's; they work fine.

Anyone know where I could find a motorcycle 7" Hella? The only thing I could find was a motorcycle mention here : http://www.rallylights.com/Hella_7_i...Headlamps.aspx

Also is the candlepower reflector supposed to be better than the Bosch one?

Thanks for the info everyone!

[kdo58]

from what i see is that a double bulb set up?.....for low beam and high beam? never did a conversion before i dont believe its difficult just not familiar with it.

I just got a link, I think it is for a dual head lights in a car, you only use one of the plugs I got a 35 watt, 5000 candle power, it has the most natural light. I like them so well I put a set in my old toyota truck.

5000 cp...nice....what selection for the bulb...H4? going to read on wiki about them so i will have a better understanding about these unless you can give a down right quick.

I bought the hella h4, then bought conversions for them.
