    what are the original headlights on a EURO 308 gt4? I assume they are carello, but what exact ones are they? any photos out there? I have some nos Marchal TP 6 SP's I could use but I'd like to know for sure. I hate US sealed beams. especially ones that say "sylvania halogen" right across the center!

    carello are the correct lights for a euro gt4. They are being reproduced as we speak, probably made in china but what can we do? I have some on order I will let you know what they look like when they show up.

    My GT4 has the 3-pronged sealed beam Sylvanias on it. How do I convert it to the Carellos with the single prong bulbs?

    Which ones did you buy, Chris? I bought lights from Stern many years ago when he was selling Cibié.

    I second the Daniel Stern recommendation. Back in 2017 I upgraded the power circuit with direct relays from the battery and a new wiring harness provided by Stern, allowing me to go with a much brighter bulb. I also installed Cibie E2 125 & 295 lenses in place of the OEM sealed beam bulbs used in the US market. The change was incredible... I used to be nervous with driving at night and now the lighting keeps up with my new cars. Highly recommended.

    Good question, I had to look it up! I just contacted him and told him what car I had and that I wanted to be able to see at night if I was driving. He gave me two choices, one of which was LEDs that looked like they belonged on a spaceship. The others were normal lights. He sent everything that was needed: 4 lights, 4 bulbs, and the wiring harness (that was extra). Here's what I got:

    KDSL-14 - Koito 5.75'' H4 hi/low
    KDSL-15 - Koito 5.75'' H1 hi
    12342XV - Tungsram H4 60/55w 120/pr
    12258XV - Tungsram H1 55w 120/pr
    HARN-RIK4 - Built-up relay harness, 4-lamp

    Non-traditionalist / purist build for me.... I am going to be going with the new Holley Retrobrites when I get to that part of my build. I am also done some LED ring lights in the tail light in the OEM housing. I want to be able to see at night.
