question re: 5th gen JDM Accord SiR headlamps

it uses H4 and H1 bulbs, correct? The H4 is a dual filament high/low beam, right? What's the H1 used for then? Is it supposed to be used as a foglight like the JDM ITR? Thanks.

Yup you're right....Although not many people wire up the H1 bulb for fogs.

I wonder why it uses an H4 bulb then? The wiring that came with these headlights has the H4 wired up for dual beam usage... it also comes with a dual beam H4 bulb. Maybe the shop just put normal H4 wiring on it? I'm curious how it looks from the factory...
