H4 Conversion lamps install

Hey everyone. So I bought h4 conversion lamps for my 240sx. They do not come with any mounting hardware, and in no way mate up with the stock light housings. how have you guys done it without fabricating it?
thanks for any help.

they dont need mounting hardware, they bolt on with the same retainer ring that the stock headlights use.

They should bolt right up, I have Hella H4 housings and the retainer ring was just a tad too small, but I just forced it around the housing and bolted it up. Works Perfect.

Yah. I literally had to keep them zip tied in. I have them alligned pretty well for zip ties, but they are not perfect. I would just like to see if anyone has found a way to fab the up to the stock housings. But for quality, they are pretty damn bright. Im running 6k bulbs, and the lack of light is not a problem here at all.

is it so hard to do things THE RIGHT way?

H4 headlights are 100% bolt on replacements, simple as that.

i dont understand how people can run into complications, let alone how they want to fuckup their lighting by installing these shitty HID kits.

shit is illegal son
