Hi P,
When installing the new bulbs be aware that originally there was a little black plastic 'sleeve' that bridged the gap from the headlight to the electrical connector.
It's purpose was to insure that the connector gathered all the available light for the fiber optic cable.
There were 4 of them.
They've often been lost.

Alan

If you are a little creative - you can make even a replaceable bulb type headlight work.
Bosch High Beam
Drill hole to fit fiberoptic - IIRC it was 1/8"
Fiberoptic plugs right in
Rubber dust/water shield holds it in place-
