Sealed beams are designed to be thrown away when the filament burns out. The manufacturer puts as little cost as possible into the lens and reflector.
Hella conversion headlamps are designed to last the life of the car and longer. High quality Tempered Glass lenses and silverized polished aluminum reflectors create a beam pattern that will increase the available light on the road by 400% on low beam and 200% on high beam.
The replaceable bulb allows you the liberty of taking advantage of the latest in bulb technology like Long Life, Xenon and Yellowstar. H4 bulb are rated by wattage High Beam / Low Beam.
Installation is no more difficult than changing a sealed beam. A rubber boot is included to protect the rear of the lamp from the weather. These lamps include an adapter to change the location of the ground terminal since some genius decided it was a good idea to make this lamp different from all the rest of the sealed beams and the H4 bulb. Complete instructions are included with the kit.
A city light, also known as a position lamp, is similar to a day time running light. They are required in Europe's biggest cities where the street lighting is excellent and headlamps are not permitted to be on, even at night. It is a 5 watt bulb in the reflector which lights up the reflector, but provides no additional illumination on the road.
These lamp are not DOT/SAE approved except for motorcycles and are sold for off-road and racing purposes only.
Vision Plus Lamps
In addition to E Code headlamps, Hella offers DOT approved road legal "Vision Plus" headlamps made with Hella technology such as metal reflectors and optically correct glass lenses. They will put out more light than sealed beam headlamps through greater efficiency of the reflector and less loss through the lens.
