<VV> headlight ?

[Frank DuVal]

The H5001 is the low beam that fits all Corvairs.

The H5006 is the high beam that fits all Corvairs.

These are Halogen replacements for the original incandescent sealed 
beams, and they work great.

The low beam fits in the outer buckets, the high beams fit the inner 
buckets.

The buckets are different, so high and low beams are not installed in 
the wrong location, and the buckets are different right to left, due to 
adjuster locations.

Maybe someone mixed up the buckets and trim rings. Try different 
combinations.

Probably too late now, but the easiest way to replace the sealed beams 
is to make a hook from a heavy coat hanger, pull the spring towards you, 
and slip the bucket out of the adjuster screws. Then disassemble the 
bucket/lamp/trim ring as a unit and reassemble. Slip the unit back into 
the two adjusting screws and then pull the spring towards you to snap 
into the trim ring. Much easier than removing the trim ring screws first!
