A 9004 bulb will not physically fit in a H4 shell and vice versa.

H4s are available at most auto parts stores - in not, then they are only a few days away from vendors like me and other fine vendors on the list.

-----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Townsend, Michael D Sent: April 27, 2004 4:14 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: E-codes w/ 9004 bulbs?

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
