Arch stanton:
Hello.
Is anyone aware of a H4 headlight unit, that will fit in the standard shell of the 175k6?

Thats the small diameter same as 400 i think, if so they are rarer than chromed rocking horse poo.
Sometimes you see period Cibie units which sre good

K2-K6:
It's this type https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274639880812 that was often used for conversion when contemporary of the smaller motorcycle headlight shells.

In cibié terms it was called "H 160" type usually, and fairly standard pattern. British cars in Triumph range, Dolomite sprint, Stag, Vitesse etc used that size to and may be a route to find something.

Whether they fit into a 175 shell you'd need to check and verify, but that's the size used in 400 shell with a step ring as they were smaller than Honda rim fitment.

K2-K6:
This one too https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361896638523 same applies with checking fitment, but not out of reach to experiment in cost terms.

K2-K6:
Bit of a risk here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165562806256 as condition on rear you can't see, it's in a car mounting (likely honda accord 4 headlight model of the 80s) but same fitment as others and a Honda original equipment.

The ring may give you something to adapt if needed to fit by cutting of the extraneous lugs from the car fitment half bowl.

Very good beam pattern on these with H4 bulb. Worthwhile if it'll work.
