Thanks for the info Pauly, but I thought I saw someone in another thread on this subject ( there are a lot... ) Say that the Phillips +150 don't work properly in the H4 unit? I think they generate a dash light CAN prob?
I may be wrong as I've read a lot on this in prep for me doing an upgrade.
Note to self: stop reading this forum!
They definitely look better than H4's! Not used them yet but pictures coming through!

Just to be a contrarian I quite like the look of the H4 headlamp particularly the way the chrome line gets picked up from the grille to carry on into the lamp housing, I also like the huge size of the main/dip beam reflector which would look equally at home revolving at the top of a lighthouse, quite how a reflector this size performs so poorly at directing light towards the road surface is a mystery, possibly the lamp is not in the best position?
Slightly OT but is it very naughty driving on just your DRL and sidelights as having put LED lamps in the DRL socket on each light it's like driving in really strong moonlight albeit there's not so much a beam pattern as ball of shimmering white in front of the van... it's very naughty then?

The DRLs are brighter without the sidelights onJust to be a contrarian I quite like the look of the H4 headlamp particularly the way the chrome line gets picked up from the grille to carry on into the lamp housing, I also like the huge size of the main/dip beam reflector which would look equally at home revolving at the top of a lighthouse, quite how a reflector this size performs so poorly at directing light towards the road surface is a mystery, possibly the lamp is not in the best position?

I must admit I think the DRLs on the H4s look better than the ones on the H7s

Or post a pic?
If your DRLs are large, square DRLS towards the middle of the van near the grille, then they’re H4. If they’re H7, they’re a small bar under the low beam reflector.
Alternatively, put headlights on, select main beam. H7 should give your four headlights lit. H4 will only light two.
I don’t know if you’re sorted, but I found this picture on here sometime ago and saved it for future reference....
For the short term buy some 150% brighter Bulbs from Halfords and accept there offer to fit them. Oh, take a book and some sticking plasters for the poor guy. Or just follow instruction on here somewhere!cheers for the reply's, used the picture and took the van out for a spin, what road?? definitely H4's!!
