Euro Headlights help

Post by Amateur »

so i finally got a set from michi. I didn't look too hard into it but from a glance it would look like i would need to trim the bezel to install it. Now if anybody who's done the installation can give me all the pertinent info that would help this process, it would be much appreciated. Now from what i can gather, the connectors will need to be changed out to fit with mine, now can i just use the ones from the stock headlights or how do I go about this?
Another issue is that the glass from one of the euro headlamps busted in transit (thanks post office), can i just replace it with another headlamp, if so from what cars can i salvage this piece from/ or can i buy that rectangular light from somewhere. (i swear I suck when it comes to this kind of stuff). At the least i'm almost positive i read somewhere in the past few months that Cliff8928 has one euro headlight for sale that he used to model his awesome headlights. may the powers of beretta.net unite to help me in this mission, should you guys choose to accept it! (just watched mission impossible 3).

If your lights have original e-code glass light units with replaceable H4 bulb, you need H4 lightbulb connector, available on any parts store.

If you are using sealed beam plastic replacements, you need a different connector for those, I down't know the name\number of it.

I should have a pair of sealed low beams with very little mileage laying as spares, you can't find them elsewhere and the glass-stuff is next to impossible find new anymore.

They look close to a third gen Camaro. My guess is that the Beretta ones are smaller. There may be some cab over trucks that use the same size. Tractors(farm) may even have them. Just some ideas there.
Never mind on the Camaro lights.

Thanks weba, those pictures are really going to help me out alot! it was one of the highbeams that cracked, but i'll do the cutting tomorrow first and then figure out how to fix the headlights. i guess i'll poke around on some old c/k trucks at the junyard for a replacement since they are the same size.
