They would in H4 but will be low beam only. You need H4-3 or H4-4 globes to get Hi/Lo beams.

H4-3 = Slider style Hi/Lo

H4-4 = True dual HID hi/Lo (4 ballast needed)

i bought my kit off ebay and this is the globe it shown to sell.

but what i received is actually the image you posted

before i complain. i just want to make sure i received incorrect item.
so these two globes are definitely different right? or they are just same globe but different look?

also if the seller is shipping me the correct globe. i just need to change the globes or i actually have to replace the whole kit? or the globes (H4-3 H4-4) can operate on the same kit?

This is a H4-3 globe, proper one for the kit you bought.
The others show a plastic rear (yuck) the alloy you got is better.

H4-4 (true Bi-Xenon) needs 4 x Ballast units to run them. no one sells them on Ebay.

i am getting so confused now ...
sorry to trouble you so much but this is my first set of HID as a result i don't really know much about it.

so which is better H4-3? or H4-4?

but the advertisement i saw on ebay, which i end up buying is use magnetic field to change between HI/LO beam but the one i received is actually slider style ....

so the difference between my globe and the advertisement one is the end cover are different? is this what you are saying?

H4-4 is better, but again You will not find them on Ebay. You will most likely not find them on sale anywhere in Australia.

We got ours from China.

The so called "magnetic field" is just a solenoid that moves the slider.
I would prefer the ones you received - in alloy. Your links are the same just different makes/quality.

do you mind if i ask how do you get it from china ...
chinese ebay?
or you actually know someone who is manufacturing it?

what's the price if you also don't mind i ask ....
because the globes even if it is correct one that the seller shipped, it still a bit weird as both globes light tilted to top left ...

i heard someone saying it tilted to top left so the light doesn't go direct into the driver at the opposite direction but i really think the tilted is too obvious and too much personally.

i am still need to adjust the headlight base so it doesn't tilted that much ...

now i am sure the sender shipped the correct item to me.

from the above link Richo said he can separate the globe part and the carrier so he doesn't need to modify the rubber seal ...
for the alloy version i have, i still haven't figure out a way to put the seal back without modify it

any experience about this?

Re: HID Upgrade pictures for 120 Headlights

Hi,
I thought that it was worth dredging up this old thread to see if anyone has fitted an H4-4 HID headlights, that is, true dual bulb 4x ballast HID headlights. I see that they are available now from China, US and Hongkong. They have dual bulbs. One bulb is in the middle of the fitting and the second, longer is off to one side. I wonder what the effect of this is to the light pattern.
