Yup, order another set of Euro heads from overseas! That's what I had to do, but then again I didn't look here in the states for replacements. Google a little harder and I'm sure that you MAY be able to find something. However to the best of my knowledge, H4 bulbs and housings here in the states differ from those produced overseas.

Damn if I could use the search. There is a Chevy truck that had the same size. For the love of monkeys someone sticky that info! This is like the third time in four months.
There is a good size list. Please link to the topic that has it(any of them) and I will start a topic and then it can have a sticky. Or someone can put the list on the home page.
I use IE and seach dosen't work for me. That is no big deal, it just would be nice to have the info on the site where it can be found with ease.

If I had the dimensions, there are probably some insert styles available on Ebay. I bought Dad a set of halo/blue bulb/H4 insert styles to replace the sealed beam style on his 83 S10. Worked great. Now the running lights are Halos, with the park lights they light up with a low intensity blue light, and then you have the H4 55/60W bulbs, complete with projectors... If they have them for that, they probably have similar for others. Just have to know the mm size of the lens. That set (2) cost me less than 50 bucks. Was well worth it.

Hmmm so how should I go about measuring the lenses? Corner to corner or side to side and top to bottom?

That's the issue Money Pit... the "American" lights are mostly sealed beam. All he needs is a new glass front. The Euro lights come crazy apart, as illustrated in the GM diagram.

Well, Weba is the Euro master. Somewhere on this board is a complete thread detailing all of the differences between a Euro spec car and a US model Beretta. I can't seem to find it.
