Default Autopal vs Hella H4 E Code lights

So I know there is some differences as the Autopal are $40 shipped on eBay and the Hellas are ~$100 plus shipping

I am just curious if anyone is using the Autopal and is happy. I may stil get the Hellas but wanted to see if anyone knew anything about the autopal

Please check Daniel Stern Lighting for a discussion on this. Cibie trumps Hella...

Personally, I have Askam/Dodge AS250 (Turkish workhorse) Cibie license Farba, but the housing is not exactly 6054, so mine look down a few extra degrees.



Farba and Ayfar are Turkish brand headlamps. I think they are good! I could arrange a group buy at some point if there is interest.

I am using the Autopal H4 Burners on 4 of my Old Iron Trucks. I am pleased, actually hard to tell the difference between Hella's and Autopal's

Hella e specs worked great for me, but bosch or cibie e specs, along w clear 130/100 w bulbs from daniel stern lighting and upgraded 10 ga wiring/relay is the best option
