Hello Lee,
Yes, H1 is correct - my car is still equipped with them, although many owners have changed to H4.

Thanks Arfor I think I can see H4 is a picture. I’m away at the moment. I read you can change the glass so need to be sure what I have before I order some new bulbs thanks

Re: What headlights on RHD 69t
Hello,
Thinking of fitting the headlights soon, need to dig them out. Are they sided left and right?
Can’t remember if I marked them up and wondered if the car be fitted either side?
Thanks

No, they're not handed - they're both the same (or, at least they should be !) ..

Re: What headlights on RHD 69t
H1s are a lot better than H4s in my opinion. I had H4s when I was based in Switzerland, then moved to H1s when I moved back to the UK. I think the H1s are much brighter and more adjustable.

Re: What headlights on RHD 69t
Hello,
Are changing from H4 back to H1 headlights a straight swap ?
Anything I need to care of ?

It's a straightforward swap.
Although not fitted originally, it's worth putting a relay in the headlamp circuit - especially if you want to use higher wattage bulbs - since the contacts in the column switch can eventually become damaged (burnt).
