H4 headlight conversion

Has anyone converted their headlights (I have a ’56) to a Tri-Bar/H4 configuration or something similar?

I have a few questions:

Does the headlight (Tri-Bar) lens shell fit the grill and how is it maintained in place?

I assume you eliminate the old headlight cages. How do you adjust the beam?

Do you drill through the air deflector panel dimple to install the H4 bulb into the Tr- Bar lens shell?

Thanks.

The tri-bar is inside the headlamp, you just install it like the factory headlight, nothing changes not even the plug with an H4 bulb.
