    Basically the main differences are:

    H1
    - 2 separate bulbs & reflectors - 1 each for main & dip beams
    - 4 screws in chrome rim for adjusting beams (+ bottom retaining screw)

    H4
    - 1 bulb/reflector for combined main/dip beam
    - 2 screws in chrome rim for adjusting beams (+ bottom retaining screw)
