<VV> Needed an interpreter, now need experience

[Bill Elliott]

Yes, most every set of E-code H4's I install have city lights. I have 
found, however (usually when installing to replace a sealed beam) that 
often they can't be used because of interference with the headlamp 
assembly or body. In those cases, I pop out the city lights and put a 
piece of electrical tape over the hole.  No direct experience in a 
Corvair, though.

Are H4's brighter? Depends on what you're coming from and what voltage 
the bulbs are.  Coming from stock incandescent lights, yep, will be a 
LOT brighter. Coming from sealed beam halogens, the light won't be 
brighter but will be much more tightly focused, so it will look 
brighter. Of course, all sorts of higher wattage bulbs are available, 
but I've found that factory wattage bulbs, especially when run through a 
relay so they get full voltage, are more than sufficient.
