That looks like a large hole. Do you have a "before" shot?

I could have made the hole much smaller. However, I want to be able to replace the H4 bulb without having to remove the entire rear cover of the headlight. Most headlights are entirely open in the rear. One of the nice things about H4 bulbs is the ability to purchase one at WalMart, et cetera, if the bulb extinguishes while you are traveling away from home. Once I find a replacement H4 bulb, I don't want to fiddle with the 9 screws in the dark, in a parking lot, or alongside the road.

I did not enjoy trying to remove the 9 screws in my *garage* so I suppose I should follow suit and subject my headlamp enclosure to surgery (I installed the H4 bulb last weekend following your instructions and found it very easy to accomplish, except for fussing with the screws :P) |

Using the H4 bulb, the RX3 headlight does a very nice job illuminating the road ahead. I like the large size of the RX3 headlight, and the excellent light pattern it projects when it has a decent light bulb, such as the H4 bulb.

The back was totally enclosed, except for the small square where the wires come out of the headlight.
