Default Does eveyone have a tough time removing the quad headlamp bezels from pre-85s? when Lamp burns out.

I always have a heck of a time removing the headlight bezel from the fender corner. Both sides! The bumper trim seems to lock in the bezel at the bottom, right where that screw is. The top of the bezel has the little plastic hook which i pamper so I don't break anything. Do you guys have the same problem?

The trim acually sits on a metal lip, so it doesn't push down.

Default Go to H1/H4 e-codes and never deal with that again.........

unless the glass gets broken.

Default 2nd, find them at Rallylights.com (165mm square for reference)

I used a dremel and notched my trim just slightly to clear the screw. Did this just before repainting the trim of course.

Default

I dumped a few 15 year old H1/H4 because the reflectors were corroded.

Default I've got a set here I'd sell.............................

Cibie H1 highs never installed and Hella H4 used for maybe one month at most. I'll post them over on the classifieds if there is any interest.

Default The reflectors?

I could use a new H1 reflector for the Cibies I have. Easier to replace them before the lights are installed in the car (which is snow covered at the moment). You don't happen to have any city light (w5w) bulb holders handy? Could use one of those in the H1+H4s I got.
