Correct, the reflecter is different.
A H4 bulb has 2 filaments in one. 1 filament does dipped beam and 1 does full beam.
A H7 bulb only has 1 filament so you require two bulbs per headlight unit.
The H7 headlight has the extra hole to allow for this set up.
It's also why they are a better...
no not swap h4bulbs for h7.. will not work .
options are
1, buy better h4bulbs (small improvement but noticeable) low cost
2, buy new VW OEM H7 headlamps (from forum shop complete H7 headlamp) medium cost
3, buy transporterhq/travelinlite etc headlamps (same H7 as above but with...
Thank you.
Bugger. So am I correct in translating all the other threads the easiest way to get better lights to see when driving and leaving the DRL as they are and not going to the cost of LEDs or xenon's is to "simpley" swap the H4bulbs for H7s.
If someone can sum up the possible different...
The Travelin Lite units come with upgraded 55W bulbs. The same power consumption but a whiter and slightly brighter light (like the ones you mention). Obviously you could fit upgraded H4bulbs to your current units, although those who have gone aftermarket generally say the light output is...
Hi, been reading this thread and if you stick to a H4, would it be possible to put a high power H4 bulb (100/90 w) into the standard unit at $5.99

Just for shits and giggles I'm going to connect a 12v power supply to both terminals of a H4 bulb and see how long it lasts.
Will it last-
A. Less than a minute
B. More than a minute but less than 10 minutes.
C. More than 10 minutes but less than an hour.
D. More than an hour (only option...
I have fitted a set of H4bulbs today that have blown a fuse but cannot find any info on where the bulb might be located. I have looked under the dash next to the glove box. Anyone got any ideas?
It goes round in circles doesnt it......... I want to replace my H4bulbs. Are the H7 bulbs A: worth the cost and B: easy to fit?
Please answer YES or NO only to A and B please ladies and gents, I'm up to my back teeth reading through pages and pages of thoughts and opinions on every blooming...
A standard winter tyre isn't a mod, in fact I would be wanting a discount off my policy for improving my vehicles safety. Also if a bulb has gone through rigorous safety tests and is like for like then if my lights had caused an accident I'd be contacting the manufacturer,. Wait a minute, I have...
so even adding floor mats, seat covers, non-OEM tyers, replacing Osram H4 with Phillips H4 bulb, the list goes on, is classed as a mod?
So I would think 99% of vehicles on the road are modified.
I emailed Vee Dub and I hope they don't mind me repeating their reply here :
Thank you for your email.
The standard H4bulbs are 55w, whilst the H9 bulbs fitted to these lights are 65w, so they will be slightly brighter than your current lights. The main beam takes H1 bulbs and these lights...
HI all I see Travelin-Lite and Transporter HQ are advertising T6 headlights finally, they look amazing, however would I be right in saying they will not pass an UK MOT
The reason why they will not pass is because the standard T6 headlight uses an H4bulbs as we all know which when switches from...
I’m not sure, So do you think that the bulb matched with the poor H4 refelectors wont make much of a difference? If they actually put brighter light in the dull orange patch my H4bulbs did I would be happy.
I've just replaced my DRL and side light LEDs with standard bulbs that have blue tinted glass. The DRL ones were very dark blue and I was concerned I would look like a 17 year old with a Corsa however they do give out white light once on. More importantly, you can wipe off the smoke damage on...
I have Osram nighbreaker laser +130% H4bulbs with Osram LED pilot lights. The DRLs are Twenty20 Cree LED (no canbus errors but do effect DAB reception a bit).
A big improvement all round!
