aba4430 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I bought my kits from Amazon. Check out amazon.com. If you are getting the Hella kits, the H1 (High Beam) and H4 (Low Beam) bulbs are included in the kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc556 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Low Beam kit is not available with shipment in Luxemburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba4430 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Get two of these and buy H4 bulbs of your choice. The Hi/Lo kit is not being sold by Amazon presently, hence the problem. Individual Lo/Hi headlamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc556 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hi Guys, I ordered Hella 003177801 and I received 003177001... I try to find on internet if there are equivalent, but nothing is clear. Could you help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Why don't you check the plug and try installing it? Hella is based in Germany and are not common sealed beams here in the US. Not likely anyone on this forum has any clue. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc556 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Yes you are right.... I shall check ASAP.. The car is not at home, so I have to wait. But if I can receive the information here, I can give them immediately back to the supplier. Edited June 6, 2020 by Marc556 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba4430 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 You received the single low/Hi beams with the H4 bulbs. The part number for the kit with two lamps etc. is 003177801. The lamp assemblies with P/N's 003177801 and 003177001are equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_freddo Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Are these fully sealed units or semi sealed? I’m after a pair of low/hi and the dedicated hi beam lights that are semi sealed. And I’d like the dedicated hi beams to be a spot light lense - clear without any ripples or patterns in the glass lens.

aba4430 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 They have replaceable H1 (high beam) and H4 (Hi/Lo beam) bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_freddo Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 LEDs for headlights can go jump. They’re far too blue. And before you get on the it’s a better light bandwagon, it’s a very unstable wave variety of light. This means glare to incoming vehicles and less light returned to the driver to see what’s ahead of them. HIDs fall into this same category. I don’t care about current usage, I just want good reliable lighting that’s inexpensive to replace globes in. Cheers Bennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba4430 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 A DOT approved, well designed and adjusted LED is fine. I have factory LED lamps (low's, fogs and the brake lamp) on my Nissan Titan Pro-4X and they are very good. I have the Hella's on the Brat and my goal is to add relays as soon as I receive my terminals. My Hella driving lights are on a relay and plenty bright, but the low and high beams at this point are mediocre. I expect an improvement after the relay upgrade. All remaining external lamps including the turn's on my Brat are Sylvania LED's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new LED sealed beam replacements are DOT approved complete housings with integrated LED's that are designed specifically to have correct beam geometry. I have a set of the newest style in my Trans Am and they rock. Also really cheap now. About $65 for the set and they aren't glass so no more rock chip cracks or holes, and the elements last basically forever. GD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aba4430 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Rather than start a new thread, adding to this one. Other than a crimper for open barrel terminals (to construct my own relay sockets), I have the necessary parts for upgrading the wiring of the Hella headlamps on the Brat. My plan is to use 2X Bosch relays with dual #87 terminals. I plan to run relay triggers (#86) from the dimmer switch inside the cab for the lo/Hi and Hi lamps. Question about the ground trigger (#85) on the relays - do I run dual grounds (2X each for the Hi/Low and Hi) from the lamps to terminal 85, after cutting the ground returns from the lamps back to the switch? This means the grounds will not be feeding back to the headlamp switch???? The remaining connections are fine, i.e. fused power from battery to #30 and power out via dual 87 terminals to the lights. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
