Euro light styles for the 4k, 4kq and coupe

["Bruce Bell" <bbell@bbell.com>]

References to the H4 are for a single reflector aero style lamp that uses
the H4 bulb for both high and low beams.  These are the real Euro
replacements for the 4kq. in fact the Bosch lights even come with the side
marker lights attached. Don't know about the Hella lamps. 

The H4/H1 refers to a single lens aero style that has two reflectors, one
for the H4 lamp and one for the H1. The H1 is used only for high beams. 
With theses lamps there is no side marker light because they are so big.
So, for us '85-'87 4k, 4kq and coupe owners who want to use these, we give
up our side marker lights or retrofit some from an earlier car with the
quad headlight system as I will do.

All the above, whether Bosch, Hella or Cibie either have or have provision
for "city lights". At least that is what I've been told.

There are also H4 and H1 single reflector, single lens lamps to replace the
stock quad headlight systems as on '84 and earlier 4k & q.
