Get some H-1 lenses to enjoy the true output. The fresnel design is specific to each light...

yep...they are right
2 bulbs = H1
if you have 55 watt bulbs....plug and play
if you have the flamethrower 110 watt bulbs.....you'll need relays, or prepare for a meltdown in wiring, switches, etc

great lights nonetheless

Carl could have nailed it...pulling the bulbs would tell, H-1 and H-4 bulbs are vastly different in shape...

city light should be way on the bottom - not in the converging axis of the reflector bowl

but won't hurt to look at the bulbs

& yes get the right lenses, add good bulbs & relays, then fire away...
