Whats the difference between H4's & H1's
 

I have H4's on my 79 SC. I have seen people refering to H1's in other posts and the huge cost. what is the difference between the 2?

Both use a similar front lens and trim ring that looks so much better than the sealed-beam US fixtures! However, the H1 assembly uses separate bulbs and adjusting assemblies for low and high beams, so a bit more 'customization' is possible with the H1 assembly.

Current price levels make little sense, though. Not quite as insane as $550 Ford Taurus headlamp assemblies with no particular salient features, but close!

Thanks Warren. Appreciated.

If you're interested in your headlights, you might want to take a look at an FAQ (I've personally never visited them, but if you care...)
http://lighting.mbz.org/faq/

Also, I just got some H 4s for my 944 at $26 a piece from

Great source for a lot of things, I just got some aluminum foldable chairs for a future auto-x at $5 a piece!

Definately worth a look,
good luck,

Thx 1.2 the headlight FAQ is very interesting & justifies the my recent bulb & relay upgrade.

No prob.
