Default JDM accord headlights...

Ok, the low beam in these headlights on my car is H4...and the high beam is H1. For my mazda i have a set of H1 HID's sitting in my room, and im thinking, if i were to reverse the plugs on each headlight, would that work? Are the harnesses and how they clip into the housing similar? Anyone? Just a shot in the dark but if i can switch them then it might work out, i can use the stock H4 as my high beam, and use the H1 as the HID on low beam, i know it sounds kinda crazy.

Thanks for listening to my madness

I thought on the JDM headlights, the high and low beams were the H4's and the city lights were H1????

wait, are you talking about using the high beam lens for your low beam switch? if so, that will not work out alright, especially with hid's...you will blind everyone!...if you are talking about reversing the actual h1 and h4 sockets in the housing itself, goodluck....the only plausable/reasonable thing to do would be to get h4 hid bulbs to use with your current ballasts...
