As I always tell those out there that are adding these lights............. It is great that YOUR visibility is improved. But thing about the people coming at you that you are blinding. They are not improving your safety at all.

Thanks to Fastforward's informative Vanagon halogen light wiring conversion info sheet, I see that the electrical socket for the European H4 bulbs is different from the North American 9004 bulbs. If I wanted to avoid cutting the existing sockets in my van and soldering in H4 sockets, can I simply install the 9004 bulbs into the square E-code fixture, or are the mechanical attachment dimensions different? I realize the H4 bulbs may be superior than the 9004 bulbs, but it sure would be a pain to not be able to purchase a replacement at any FLAPS should the need arise because they don't stock H4 and also be prevented from using 9004's. Thanks, Michael |
