Ford Fiesta Headlight Bulb Confusion

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I own a 2005 Ford Fiesta and my right low beam headlight has died so I purchased an Osram H4 bulb to replace it (I haven't done this before but I have a guide). Now what I am confused about is that the Osram bulb is labeled H4 60/55W while the manual says the headlight bulb is H4 55/60W. Does that matter in any way 60/55 vs 55/60? :blink:

No it will be fine. However the Osrams are brighter than standard bulbs, so I take it you are changing both?

It already had Osrams in it as far as I am aware, so I am only replacing the right one. If it turns out the right one is brighter, I'll replace the left one as well. So, I should just put the bulb in normally don't need to rotate it or anything due to the 55/60 vs 60/55 watt thingy? Thanks for the advices mate.

Yeah it will be fine. Any halogen H4 bulb can be used in any headlight unit which takes a halogen H4, as far as I know. Same goes for H1, H7 etc, it's all standardised.

Thanks fellas. I just changed the bulb, works fine. Will test it later at night to see if there's any difference in illumination and positioning (though positioning should be the same since I didn't touch the white screws that adjust the alignment).
