Re: H4 question.

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

AFAIK, H4 is the basic bulb type designation, i.e. fitting/pin 
configuration/number of filaments. Assuming your wiring/reflector is up to 
it, you should be able to swap any H4 bulb for another H4, regardless of 
wattage/gas fill/colour. Same goes for the H3 inner bulbs.
Did your lights come from the UK or mainland europe? If it was the UK, the 
beam pattern would be pointing more towards the oncoming traffic as you 
drive on the opposite side of the road from us.
Another possibility is - do you have the outer H4s wired correctly? H4 bulbs 
are dual filament: if you have wired the high & low beam filaments the wrong 
way round the beam will be too high. If you disconnect the H3 inners and, in 
the dark, switch between high & low beam, it should be pretty obvious what 
should be high & low on the outers.


HTH,
