Will these bulbs be ok for my car?

Hi everybody,

 

one of my headlight bulbs has blown, I normal replace with the cheapest bulb I can find from euro car parts/GSF etc. 

however, I have found these H4 Ring Xenon150 +150% 12V 60/55W 472 Halogen bulbs. A pair for £14 

 

will they work ok on my focus mk2?

Yes, fine, they don't last as long though

Argh.... they don’t fit, they have 3 prongs on where as my mk2 has 2!! 
they’re also too big for the hole!! 
 

Can I make any mods for them to fit? 
 

thanks 😊

Isn't the focus MK2 an H7 fitting and not H4?

i think it is

Indeed it is a h7, something that I wish I knew earlier hehe (you learn something new everyday)

unfortunately in my eagerness and frustration at the plastic that the 2 bulbs came in ( it would be easier to escape from prison than it would to escape 2 bulbs from that packaging!! ) I simply did not notice until i had the bulb in my hand that it had 3 prongs!!! 
I had entered my registration number on the GSF car parts website and these came up so assumed (naively) that they would be fine....

have now brought 2 new Neolux 50% brighter ones for £8 which I have been told is the best I’ll get with out breaking the bank..

 

so if anyone is wants to reallly treat the other half this Christmas... I have 2 H4 Ring Xenon150 +150% 12V 60/55W 472 Halogen Bulbs brand new, opened but untouched (glass bulb) with packaging £14 free delivery ....

Worth a shot 😉 

thanks as always for all replies!
