Need some headlight help for the 60 ghia. I ordered some h4 headlights that came with the adjustment rings but they sit out a fair way and the new chrome rings I have go nowhere near covering. The original chrome rings that I have are wider than the new ones.
Question is what is the right combination, what do I need?

Cheers

Ash I had 7"sealed beams in mine years ago but I made the brackets etc and used the Ghia chrome trims.I think the 7" semi seale should be the same,I know the H4:s are a squarer lens.
