 Oops, that was supposed to answer the request on flywheel sizing.

    Hi Steve,
    Here are my thoughts/recommendations...
    I put a pair of Vintage LED's headlights into my Pantera.  They work
    great and deliver clear crisp white light.
    I went with their VC5000 ULTIMATE 7 INCH LED HEADLIGHT KIT with 6k
  pure
    white light and the German Hella H4 lens upgrade. They work quite
  well!

  /
    I used to have CibiA(c) H4 headlamps in my Mustang and LOVED them!
    When recently looking for another set I found that Daniel Stern
    Lighting (which used to sell them) now recommends Koito H4 headlamps.
    Another option if you want to stay more traditional is to go with
  Koito
    H4 headlamps (7 inch round) from Daniel Stern Lighting.
    [2][2]https://www.danielsternlighting.com/products/products.html
    Daniel Stern recommends these Koito headlights over the former
  CibiA(c)
    H4 headlamps for the following reasons...
    CibiA(c) H4 headlamps were in production for many years, and the
    tooling (for the large and small round H4 lamps, in particular) was
    allowed to grow decrepit. Once the tooling wore out so completely
  that
    a plausible proportion of these lamps couldn't be squeaked past
    conformity-of-production testing, they were discontinued. It's a bit
  of
    a sad end to a storied brand, but don't fret: compared to the
  CibiA(c)s
    even before their downward skid, the Koito large and small round
  H4/H1
    lamps on this page are superior. The Koitos are more efficient (more
    light on the road), better focused (more useful distribution of
  light),
    and better-built (sturdier glass and metal materials, more careful
    build quality).
    Good luck, and let us know which way you go!
    Cheers!
