HID Problem....Help
 
Wuts the difference between a H4-1 and H4-2 bulb and will it fit into any H4 socket?

if it's real HID's no the bulb will not fit in your H4 socket, you need ballasts with H4 connectors, a HID kit should come with them,

As for H4-1 and H4-2 the 1, is low beam only, and the 2 is low HID, and high Halogen(which will suck more then a vacume)

for the H4-2 as long as i stay on low beam i get the hid output right or no?

yes, but you may as well save the extra they charge for the H4-2 and get the H4-1

thing is they were the same price and i actually got the h4-2 bulb instead of the h4-1 and my car has a different light source for the high beams. Will me putting the h4-2 cause any serious problems?

when you say that you have a different light source for the high beams, what do you mean by this? so you mean a different source as in, the little halogen bulb that is on the H4-2? or a different bulb entirely?

I have a different bulb entirely for high beamand i ordered the H4-2.
And from what you said the H4-2 is a hid and high beam. So i wanted to know if putting the H4-2 would cause any problems, cause my last HID blew a fuse

So do you have aftermarket headlights? i'm confused about the separate high beam? the factory headlights re H4, but if you have aftermarket ones they may not be H4, especially if they are the projector ones

no really... you're driving a civic right? what generation? if it's an EF then that explains it lol but i don't think that EF's use H4's
