Question for UK listers:
The only time I have fitted Halogens was to my MGBGT, sometime around 1989.
These were H4 types (in the UK). I remember that there were 2 distinct
styles, one with a domed front. similar in appearance to a Lucas 7" sealed
beam, while the other type had a near flat front, giving a sharp angle at
the outer edge - they looked completely wrong. Can anyone tell me who makes
which type? I think the ones I used were Hella, but I can't be sure. I'm
intending to fit Halogens to the "daily driver" Herald, but I'd like to rule
out the "wrong" style before I start shopping around,
        Cheers,
                Bill.
