 so funny ! ......my covers have the so called "adjuster hole" that doesn't even come close to lining up !!!!
I asked a guy who seems to have everything, and he reckons he has a vgc Hella H4 Capri, but he wants drug money for it, so I didnt bother asking exact cost when he started blurting out "$$$100's$$$". I looked at it and it does look VGC as he said.

I've got street legal, E marked Autopal multi-surface reflector headlights in my Escort, and think they are great. Way more light output than the stock Lucas 'prince of darkness' halogens, they fit stock mounting rings, come with parking lamps, are cheap as chips, the works. Not factory original, but I'd rather see where I'm going.

Autopal must be under new owners, or they've woken up to their plight if they continued as before making rubbish.
Good to hear they're making a good product.  Who from and how much ?
Cheers

I bought a couple of these at $25 each (inc GST):

They don't quite look the same as in the photo either; the bulb reflector is different. Some people don't like them (I don't care either way myself), but UK suppliers sell ones without if that's more your thing.

I bought a Narva headlight kit for the escort as soon as I got it, then found it already had upgraded Halogen headlamps. (idiot).

just a update for those interested
 
i had the capri out at night and they light up the street very well i did swap out the autopal lenses for the h4 glass lenses but all in all they shine well
 
so they are autopal backs with h4 hella glass face lenses works well
