h1 st and h1's? - Honda Prelude Forum

while installing my jdm headlights, i bought some h1's (forgetting they were the high beams and not low beams) after getting everything ready i realize the h4's are the low beams (which i didn't buy, stupid me) but i was about to install the h1 silverstars when i realize i bought H1 ST. there was only one spade on the bulb while the jdm h1 has two. i was really pissed cause i didn't know there was a difference. now i need to return these bulbs and buy regular H1's and H4's.

h1's have 1 connector, period...

if the JDM connector has a connector for multiple prongs, it's not for an h1 bulb...

yeah the high beam on the jdm bulbs have the same connector as the low beams except the metal connectors inside

the high beams look like this: | | , and so do the harnesses

the low beams look like this : __ | (but upside down)

now what i noticed when i took the lights off the bumper is that the side marker lights were ricer blue. it could be possible someone spliced in new harnesses for both but they look pretty stock (cut from the main stock wires) i guess if i just buy the right ones it should be ok
