why not just replace with 7" round h4 headlamps ( golf mk1,landrover defender etc) for improved light?

I have got a feeling that our conversion required the location lugs / moulding or bits grinding off the back of the headlights to enable fitment in the beetle mounting.

feel free to come and look at the late 1303 karmann cabrio we got in the garage here, its what they were fitted with as standard fitment ( only in south birmingham)
