Hella H4 rubber gaiter

[Succentor]

The Hella H4 headlights come with a rubber gaiter which should sit over the back of the lamp to keep the water out, but on the ones I have the hole in the centre is circular while the Jeep H4 plugs are a fat T shape.

Currently I’ve not installed the gaiters but this doesn’t feel like a good idea. Any idea how I get this to match up?

PS should say these are the version with side/position light function as seen here:

which I think is different from the US version

The body of the bold seals in that hole. It’s the same as the US E codes and hasn’t ever been a problem for me

I am just discovering there are a lot of export parts different to US parts! I got some new fender side indicators and they are not the same? US Indicators are smaller? I only needed to change the left one because of "Bush Rash" and now I have to buy an Export one, not a problem but my box of useless TJ parts is growing at a rapid rate

Body of the bulb? So it can take the heat that generates?

The metal body, cylindrical between the prongs and the glass.

Interesting, thanks. Will have another go.

Doesn’t look like that... UK ones have sidelights.

Thanks all for help - all sorted now, though to use the optional sidelight function you have to make a cut through the boot (at the position already marked out) for the sidelight wiring to go through. Works well.
