What started out as a simple headlight replacement last night grew arms and legs.....
My drivers side headlamp had a lot of corrosion on the reflector, my friendly MOT man said get it sorted for next time
So I
assumed both my headlamps were the same and took the part number from one of them, by chance this was the passengers side....
I got a 2nd hand replacement lamp and fitted it in the drivers side housing.
I then noticed the drivers side lamp I took out had an H4 bulb in it but wasn't marked as H4 on the lens, was marked E4, and had an H4 fitting.
The passengers side one had a halogen conversion bulb in it and was marked E1 and had the old style fitting.
The replacement drivers side one is the same as the passengers side one.
Luckily I had a spare conversion bulb so at least my headlights are the same now.
I then read several posts on here about headlamps and that cleared things up.
They're not the best so either a full H4 conversion will be on the cards at some point, or I'll fit spot lamps to make up for the pi$$-poor light.
