Headlight bulbs, Clipper (Hella high beam, four headlights)

I have a 4-headlight Clipper.  I would like to put brighter (Xenon) bulbs in the high-beam pair.

I ordered H1 Ultra Power Bulbs (Ultra part BU448P) , after a knowledgeable local told me these are the right ones.  They aren't.  They are the right size, and correctly single filament, but they don't fit into the sockets which are a different shape.

These bulbs all seem to go by H numbers.  Can anyone tell me, please, what is the H number of the bulbs I need?  The bulb vendor can't advise.

Thanks.

Take out what's already in and see what they are stamped with

"H" are the old timey pinouts…
one in top one on each side,

You can google all the different types available.

H 6024 is the standard 7 1/2 bulb with the standard socket.

Most of the new COB type of leds use a 9004 style of socket.

Which ever type you go to, RELAY them you will get a brighter light and off load the high current
off the lamp switch.


But remember.

As you have a 1990 Cabby same as me do you have flat bladed connectors?
2 vertical on the sides and 1 horizontal?

If so get yourself a set of 'H4 Osram Night breaker' bulbs.
Very affordable and takes 5 minutes to change.

Check out this video.

Massive difference and no messing about with the connectors or wiring.
Put a set in my mk1 and a set for our 4x4 three summers ago and there still going strong and we drive with our lights on all year round.

Prices vary but here on Amazon.

Thanks, Early.  I had assumed these were the numbers for the old (non-xenon) bulb.  But it seems one is the size/shape no matter what the technology, which turns out to be H3 in this case, and a picture on Google seems to confirm this.

£8.79/pair

Briano, those are the combined high beam/low beam headlights, i.e. the outer pair.  I've been searching for xenon bulbs for the inner pair (Hellas) which are high beam only.  The bulb has a single spade connector inside the rubber boot.

Well actually they have 2 wires one to the case (ground) and a center insulated 12V+

They were h3 on mine and I have h5 in them now and relayed with 3 relays you get a lot of light on high.
