Don't know for sure but they were the two conversations about them. It appears that they'll fit if you can get lamp assembly apart, although they're convex rather than flat ofcourse. I'm not saying they'll fit, but that was conclusion I gleaned.

Got some, still in the shed
i know i could make bits bit i shouldnt have to, they are quite simply not made for a t3
they will get fitted if im desperate

I think they were originally listed as Lucas on the Euro Car Parts website, so not original Hella but a decent make all the same. However, when people started ordering them they arrived clearly as unbranded generic lamp units and not Lucas at all. Nothing wrong with that at under £9.00 a pop but as they are a generic replacement they obviously don't look the same as original (having a curved frontage) but the light frame has to be swapped over.
Like I say...they should fit with a little work and will give you H4 'Halogen' upgrade for those coming from early Tungsten lamp units.

They dont fit without making brackets so i dont see how they can be sold as t3 headlights becuase even with a t3 headlight frame they dont fit

Ahhh there you go then....the answer to a question I asked over a year ago. lol.

For the sake of making 6 small SS brackets it does seem odd to dismiss these. You don't need a complete bezel. Perfectly good fit in mine as I said on the other thread, beam alignment perfect after fitting also. No need to take apart like in the pic above - use the 3 holes that you took the screws out of to take the old one out.
