Headlight Replacement
Posted: Tue Nov 30, 2004 2:41 am
I want to replace the sealed beams in my 1969 S4 with a set of halogen H4 replacement units. There are two problems:
1. The manual suggests a tool be made to pull off the trim ring. What should this be made from. There is precious little room between the rong and the headlight pod, so it needs to be thin. But it also needs to be strong enough not to bend. Any ideas?
2. I have the headlights that are held open by vacuum. The lights will stay up for a short time after the engine is turned off, but is there any way to manually keep them up without putting any strain on the mechanism?
Thanks in advance for your help.
