Don't  kid yourself, a decent set of E code headlights have it ALL over ANY   
sealed beam. BY A LOT!! It's not just the bulbs that are better, the  optics 
are 
light years ahead of that sealed beam crap.

Yes,  most every set of E-code H4's  I install have city lights. I have 
found,  however (usually when  installing to replace a sealed beam) that 
often they  can't be used  because of interference with the headlamp 
assembly or body.  In those  cases, I pop out the city lights and put a 
piece of electrical  tape  over the hole.  No direct experience in a 
Corvair,   though.



In the original translated Chinese message I  read:
 
" If your stock one is 6 x 4 inches, this  auction will  fit."

Uh - No Corvair that I know of has the 6 x 4 rectangular  bulbs. Cars like 
the Chevy Citations, and a bunch of other 80s cars had  them. I, too, would 
checkout the Daniel Stern lighting site. Our round  headlight design is absolutely 
the most efficient design for lighting. Even the  HID designs use a round 
reflector down in the middle of the oddly shaped  light.  Any other shape is a 
compromise. A pair of round 5 3/4 lights on  the lows and another pair on the 
highs will light up the night. Just be careful  how you connect them and use 
them.  -  Seth
