H4wkeye Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 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?

btmaldon Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 No it will be fine. However the Osrams are brighter than standard bulbs, so I take it you are changing both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4wkeye Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4wkeye Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 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).
