Headlights Hella or HELIX

i have the hellas; im extremely satisfied with their quality and output

I swapped the Hella conversions in on my '87 16V last year. These part numbers worked just fine: Low beams x2 Hella 003177862 HLMP MOD 164X103 H4 High beams HELLA 003177821 164x103mm H1 High Beam Halogen Conversion Headlamp Kit

Might be an unpopular opinion but get a pair of Hella Vision Plus (1A6002395) H4 headlights, ceramic H4 connectors and 100/90w H4 bulbs. Night and day difference without messing with the beautiful classic look.

I have bought two used headlights from ebay before and had no issues. Just make sure the part number is the same as what your car has and that the label has "hella" specified.

hella 7” lamps that take a modern LED bulb for this exact reason, looks oem but headlights actually work

Hella H4 e-code conversion beam, full stop. Can run whatever H4 bulb you want, including LED retrofits if you want (don’t cheap out, I recommend Morimoto) but I find a good quality halogen bulb like Osram Nightbreaker Lasers are as good as if not better than most LED retrofits without requiring a harness upgrade.

I put a set of euro Hellas on my golf years ago. The US light performance was very good for the time but the euro lights were so much better.

LED headlights that replace the rectangular sealed beams can probably be aimed. That's the only good things about them. They won't provide any more light than sealed beams if they are road legal.

I bought new hella lamps and mounted them nearly half year ago. Any ideas why they are getting so steamy ? any fix? Im so dissapointed, this shit is pretty expensive

Do yourself a favor and don't change original Hella headlights for aftermarket crap. The beam pattern will suck, you won't see a thing and they do a poor job of copying the look of the originals so all look like balls.
