Title: calling Hella twins owners
Post by: tomScotland mk3GTI on 15 June 2011, 03:46

These are gen Hella units, but I have a question or two....
1. Should the dipped beams be on the outside, with sidelights and main beam on the inners?

2. Does anyone know if you can buy new manual adjusters, the long threaded "bolts" that hold the lights to the units? The plastic tags have gone brittle and cracked, and I'm currently holding a couple together with cable ties....

Its just that i've read somewhere that the main beams are outer and dipped on the inners, am i doing something wrong?

dipped lights are both, main beam is outside and fall beam is the middle.

I took my dipped lights out the middle lol

Don't know about the bolts  :undecided:

look genuine but need super close up shots of glass markings and covers, which can be changed with non hella items so it really makes no odds - they all look the same

as for parts, id buy a broken set for parts. think im gonna do this just for the sake of having some spares

thats totally different to mine then, strange. Dipped beam - outers. Main beam and sidelights - inners. "Hella" on the back and front of the covers and lenses.

Two different kinds I think one with smoked glass and the projectors and one with clear glass.
I have had Hellas and run copys now, put them side by side and without the markings you wouldn't know
