H4s Great Mate - used with Hella/Narva PLUS 50s
I've always had sealed beams in My beetles, even back in the 70s...
Now I have H4s in My beetle...
You will need the round headlamp brackets from a 70>
model falcon or maybe holden?
these have the mounting holes in them...
there are different ways of mounting them...
I would stay clear of 90/130w bulbs as these tend to overheat the headlamp electrical plug etc...
Hella/Narva plus 50s are 50% brighter on Low beam and 40% brighter on HIGH Beam and only use 55watts..
You can buy most H4 headlamps at most auto one etc...
