Hi guys,Not ever had xenon lights on a car before so never really bothered finding out whats what! Looking to get a Xenon HID kit for my Rallye, want to improve visibilty at night time. But have noticed that they do: H1, H4 and H7: What really is the difference? Plus when I go to install them will they sit correctly in the standard light units? Cheers guys, any help on this would be great |
