Zenki German Glass Headlights = Bulb Types?

i searched and searched and couldn't find anything.

what bulbs do the german glass zenki headlights take?

both hi and lo, thanks in advance!

(Lo beam=H4 and Hi Beam=9005 with plastic headlights, is it possibly the same for glass?)

They are different.

Glass headlights use H1 highbeam. Plugs are different as well.

Be glad you have options.

You can also purchase Final Konnexion or Supermade Headlight Covers and / or corner covers.

Yes, how stupid that no one else makes glass lights for a 12yr old car, especially when you can buy them OE for the same price and have a better quality unit overall that meets TUV standards.

wow... i got positive rep for helping?!?! i feel so useful.

you probably want to stay away from the xenon or bi-xenon bulbs. actually, the bulb you should go with should be no-xenon.. as in, it should be HALOGEN.

Stay away from HID retrofit kits, especially in H4 form.

its horrible. really. if it wasnt horrible, i wouldnt be bitching for all these years about this shit.

i keep zilvians informed. otherwise, this place turns into the AE86 forums - a forum where people suggest and praise people for doing shitty upgrades.

when you get your kit, park next to an s2000 or any car with quality, factory HID setup. you'll quickly learn why you're wasting your time (and easily your money).
