 |
|
Hi everyone!
I have a set of Euro spec Vanagon H4 headlights. Can these be made to fit a US spec bay? Any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks!

| If you already have the H4s why not just try and put them in. If they don`t fit, which I think they will, you can always just put your original back in . You don`t even have to do both. You may need the hardware from inside the Vanagon head lite bucket though. |

They dont pop right in because of the mounting tabs on them. They are the round units and I took them out of a Vanagon to convert my US Bay to European spec because I just moved back to Europe and took my bus with me  .
Just wanted to see if anyone ran into the same problems before. |

The 7" round headlights sold in the US are for the most part universal fit, even if you buy euro spec lensed ones. I actually pulled a set of euro spec H4s from a Vanagon and installed them in a bus. They fit just like stock.
I wonder if some Vanagons in europe got a different headlight setup. I know some GTIs came with some round headlights that are quite a bit bigger than standard 7".
