Can't see much. Everything is tucked out of the way behind the radiator. I have about 6" of harness you can see. Lol

i dont feel like running a loomed harness 4 ft needs install pics personally. I spent 10 minutes building the harness with plugs doing all my soldering and probably 3 minutes running the wire around the radiator and into the back of the light. another 3 minutes connecting it to my battery terminals and I was done. If i'm taking pics of an install its to document actual labor, i could've done all this sitting on the toilet.

hmmm.....

i seem to recall you coming on here and asking a question or three and getting answers from folks without fanfare....i'm sure some people thought your queries rather fundamental and basic, but answers you got none-the-less.

there's folks at home following along that don't ask questions for their own reasons.....perhaps they feel embarrassed to ask things that seem mundane.....some folks are shy.

****, or photographs help people SEE what can be done and make things easier to understand.....we like pictures....and they may inspire some to do the same.

apparently from your lofty perspective it wasn't necessary....that's fine. after all...not everyone can build and install a harness whilst takin a ****.......so i feel umbrigde from your dismissive response.

taking the time to type that post was ****** stupid in my opinion......we've gone 168 pages without any bullshit, so do us a favor and refrain from posting unless it's something positive.....or just stay the fu@ck outta this thread.

what i find interesting is these have 2 wires exiting the housing....most Cibie lamps are case grounded with one hot protruding.

the BOBi....this was Cibie's answer to the sealed beam requirement for vehicles in America back in the '70's. DOT compliant by ingenious design....because it IS sealed completely with an H4 bulb inserted from the exterior inside the concave glass balloon......the fluting is gorgeous and intricate.....from what i've read it was "light" years ahead of anything offered in this country that was legal for road use.
