H1s? whats the diff.

[davis911s]

I was browsing ebay and noticed a set of H1s going quite high, as I clicked on it they look a lot like mine, so i looked and thats what I have.

I have a H4 lense one the drivers side, the lense was cracked and I didn't know what I had when I picked it up (dummy)

Anyways whats the diff and why are they selling them for $1200, that sounds ridiculous, but people are already bidding past $700?

Please explain

Not sure what H4s are like, but my car has H1s ... they have separate bulbs and reflectors for high and low beam and are individually adjustable. They are super bright ... I've never needed high beams!

I can't find them on ebay, where are they, I need a new set for my car.

but hey if they sell for $1200 I think I'll sell mine and buy some H4s, if the main diff is seperately aimed high and low.

Acording to the Pelican catalog, new H1 lights are no longer available. Sounds like a supply and demand imbalance. If you have the supply you win!

There was a pair that sold for $800 a few months ago, I would be very suprised if these bring in the $1250.00

Yikes, someone at Pomona was selling a pair for $350 - should have bought them!

Reserve NOT met at $810!!! Jeez!

The most recent auction at $600 or so that I remember was for new in the box set!

I sure wish I had bought a whole garage full of them back when they were $129 each ... back in '79! Who woulda thunk they could ever hit the $1K per pair price level?

I bought a "used" set in 1976. They were demo's without the box for $125. I wish I could have forseen these events.

As mentioned, H1s come with two brighter bulbs (high and low) rather than one dual bulb on H4s. Some people swear that the H1s are considerably easier to drive with at night. I've had both and they are brighter, but not by four times! The H4s can be uprated and if they break you don't have to replace the whole unit like H1s.

I have seen them sell on Ebay for around $400.00 (for a pair). $1250- no thanks.

How can I tell what I have on my 76

The H-1s have four screws compared to the 2 on the H-4s
