well if you have real jdm headlights from japan they use h4 and h1. I personally kept my high beams stock, and used to have piaa h4 low beams, but then retrofitted some audi a6 projectors.

so the H4 is the low and the H1 is the high??
are you sure i thought the H4 was a twin element bulb(high/low)?
how hard was the retrofit?? do you have any pics of how it looks??

here's a link to the headlight i bought

yea, h4 is dual filament, but the way its set up is only single. I dont actually have any pictures from when everything was 100% done, but here a picture with the projector on the passonger side, and the halogen on drivers side for comparison
