The Hella lenses are glass. They look almost like the OEM lenses but they're a little flatter. They require no modifications to the headlight buckets or retainers.

Re: Headlight Relay Installation Brightness Difference

I installed Hella H4 in my GMC, boy what a difference when all four are on. I didn’t upgrade to relays though and at times tripped the circuit breaker in the headlight switch...

Re: Headlight Relay Installation Brightness Difference

I went to the junk yard near me and bought 10 relays and connectors off of 3 S-10's for $20.00. Thats just $2.00 each!
