Default H4 headlight conversion

Hi
New to the forum with a 144DL.
Looking to convert headlights to an H4 bulb. Is it as simple as buying a new headlight with H4 fitting?
Any recommendations of best headlight manufacturer or supplier.

Regards Andy

We have converted all of our 140's to H4's - just a case of fitting H4 compatible lamps

Many thanks
My car is a 1973 version with a separate sidelight.
Can you buy the lens your suggest without a sidelight fitting I.e. only for an H4 bulb

Think the same seller does them without sidelights if you really don't want them. Alternatively deprive a classic Range Rover of its headlights - loads of options around with the 7" round lights.

Or, buy halogen bulbs with the P43t base to fit straight in to your existing lights - expensive though!
