well... when i went to change the standard bulbs to OSRAM bulbs... H1 bulbs, and they fitted in both the sidelight slot and the headlight slot... i remember this because i was playing about deciding whether i wanted full beam from the outer part or inner part...
strange  :huh:
maybe i dreamt it??  :laugh:

Well the outer headlight bulbs are H1.... so unless that means that they can take h4 too... i doubt it... as h4s are much bigger!

as for the full beam inner ones ... i dont know... check on a website like powerbulbs or autobulbs....

Or ask kenny as he has H1 sidelights??!??!?!?!?!

h1 are 55w where a h4 is 55/60w..but having dedicated lights for dip/main you get a better beam
and h4 are a 3 prong fitting, the h1 is single prong without wire and h3 is single with wire... new cars use h7 buts thats another story

Up untill now i just thought its the fitment thats different...

i think at least about 30% of car models have H1's as headlights...

Just get some decent ones... I got 2x Philips plus ultra vision or something .... claimed they were upto 60% brighter.... for £10 i think.

Theyre certainly very bright and very white!!!

So with 2 pairs, for both beams, it will be bright as i guess. Aslong as i get H1s.

Im thinkin maybe halfords is cheaper than gsf for bulbs?
