    H1/H4 rims

    Are the chrome rims the same for an H1 or H4 headlight?

    Yes, I changed my white H4 to Yellow H1 and it works.

    I think H1 rims have four adjuster holes and H4 rims have two.

    Hmm, maybe I mess up here, I have headlight blocks with 2 screws which are for sure H4. Just replaced the lens from white H4 to 1973 french Yellow Lens H1. The chrome ring fit perfectly on both.
    My car is european.

    What Mike said - H1's have four adjusting screws, H4's have two. The lenses shouldn't affect anything though.

    The rims are the same shape, as are the lenses. Only difference is the number of holes. On your car running H1 lenses on H4's isn't the lensing/light pattern wrong? Or does it work well enough?

    Well it seems ok, as I went to adjusting them and passed the control.
    No cheating, swear it.
