Ok, So here's the deal. I just bought a set of US Ellips that I am going to smoke. I have read about 10 threads on HIDs on here and done some google work but I'm still confused.
Just as a premise to my questions: a couple years ago I purchased the Hella 55w H4 Low Beams with PIAA Xtreme White bulbs from BavAuto.
So here are my questions:
1. I know that H4 bulbs are Dual Filament and H1's used by HID kits are single filament, but what exactly is the difference between HID H1s and my H4s?
2. When it comes to the US Ellips I bought, what will be a better light output, the HID H1s or my current H4s (in their Hella Beams)? Why? I've read though some threads about the cutoffs and have pics of both side by side and I can't tell the difference.
3. From what I've read I'd be buying the 55w 6k HIDs for the Ellips. The current Bulbs I received with the Ellips are 9006 55w HB4s. Does this mean I need 9006 bulbs or will the H1s work since they come with the ballasts?
4. I assume there is a significant difference between the current 9006 bulbs and HIDs, but is it worth the overall money to upgrade from my H4s?
Thanks for the help!
