Hella H4 low beam as high beam?

[adrculda at yahoo.ca (Adrian Culda)]

Why not run a dual low/high system ???
its hell-of-a-lot brighter ! 
you can take my word on that one.
and by the looks of it my setup will be up for sale too
4 sealed beams, with xenon white bulbs 85/125w
and i will even include the HD wiring harness that i made for it :)
(used 8 gauge wire and 2 relays - a bit of an overkill)
Also you have the option of having the Low beams on while you have the high beams on. the buyer can decide if the want it or not.
make an offer.

Wouldn't the combination low/high beam have the lenses properly aligned
for high beams too, is it just the bulb? I could put a dual bulb in the
lens, in the high beam position, and wire it for just the high beam.
That should be the same as the dual low/high beam when the highs are on.

I'd say yes, but I'll go out and take a look at mine (which reminds me,
they need aiming) Anyway, on my MkI I have hella H4 outers and the
sealed
equivalent as inners, I have the inner lows on a switch so I can do four
lows when it won't piss anyone off. They are bright.

Now on the MkIIs quad rectangles, the lens on the H1 is different, the
logo
that says "H1" (and the centre of the lens) is a bit higher up, and
there's
no inner dome ( which must be a mirror??) in the H1. Which probably
means
you'd have trouble using the H1 as a low beam. Now I wonder how
important
the filament position is in the bulb itself?
