I don't think you can H1 needs the H1 housing to ground off of it. Sell your H1s and get H4s you will probably have money left over as H1s are rare.

the wires to the headlights terminate outside of the headlamp assembly, and you can cut those connectors off and use new ones suitable for H-1 headlights

to change from H-4 to H-1 headlights the entire assembly must be replaced - bulb, bowl, and reflectors

if English is not your first language go ahead and post in your native language; there is probably someone here who can translate if not answer you directly
