What does H1 mean in headlights?
The H1 is used for the high-beam light, whereas the H7 is used for the low-beam light. The H1 and H7 are both single-beam lights and use a single filament to create a fixed beam.
What is the brightest H1 bulb?
The Philips Xtreme Power or Osram Night Breaker is the highest-output stock-wattage bulb in H1, H3, H7, or H4 format, though also with a short lifespan. Osram makes (but doesn’t advertise) a high-output 65/70w bulb; tossing a pair of those in your current headlamps would probably work out very well overall.

Can I replace H1 halogen with LED?
They use no gas and contain no filaments. LEDs have a few advantages over halogens. They’re brighter but consume less power, don’t heat up as much, and take up less space. However, you can’t simply replace a halogen bulb with an LED assembly.
Are H1 bulbs high and low beams?
One bulb functions as the low beam or dipped beam headlight, and the other can be turned on to create the brighter high beams or main beams. Many vehicles use single filament bulbs. The most common single filament headlight bulbs are H7, H1, and H3 bulbs.
Can I use H4 instead of H1?
H1 and H4 are different bulb types. An H4 has two filaments and is usually used as a Hi/low headlight and the H1 is a single filament and would typically be used as a high beam only. The difference is they are meant to be in different places on the car.
