Found this H4 headlight while hunting for a decent headlight (in store) so checked it online and the price are same so its not store dependent clearance.
it could be helpful to someone else too.
first time posting a deal here on OzBargain, so apologies in advance if I broke any rules.
Have you been driving (at night) with a headlight down for weeks?
No
Good man
Considering this is high /low in one, great price for a set.
I havent had to change the highbeam bulbs in 12 years, only low beam.
So if these are both high and low, the brightness comes from different voltage being supplied to the high & low sockets?
Most city dwellers don't get to use high beam. I'd say true ozbargainers would just swap high / low when low beam is worn. :)
I’d say a lot of OzBargainers would struggle to change a h4 bulb without watching a video let alone trying to rewire a socket…
@mapax: There's always a first. I just changed my H7 projector to a Philips X-tremeUltinon Gen 1 and it was a pain! My car uses the metal bracket contraption VW uses which needed to be widened.
@mapax: I think quite a few cars use the same bulb for high / low beam. Perhaps car engineers are bargain loving types too
Ozbargainers only play video games and eat McDonald's.
As far as I know. The bulb doesn't do anything. Your head light tilts to project light further. Then dips back down when turned off.
Edit
Looks like these do have 2 filaments. Not sure how it does the high beam.
Because the filaments are in different positions within the bulb it shifts the focal point which in turn shifts the pattern down range.
There is a small reflector for the low beam filament, so light is only directed downwards (which probably also works with the headlight reflector in a certain way) The high beam filament blasts in all directions.
I wish the makers of those chinese LED replacements followed this configuration. I tried a set, had 3 LED strips in a triangle, 1 up, 2 down and outwards.
The top one only came on for high beam but the bottom two were always on and because they basically covered the bottom 180 degrees the light leakage on low was so much it was like having high beams on all the time.
They have two filaments, one for high the other for low, both same 12v. The different filaments may have same or different wattage, in this case they are 60W high and 55W low. It's the way they cast light from the two different filaments that gives a low or high beam. Some vehicles have seperate lights for low and high, but H4 is a combined solution.
Great price, wish there was a deal for H11 bulbs.
I don’t know much about cars, how will I know if this is suitable for my Honda jazz?
put your details into the Repco site and it should say if it'll work or not
Honda Jazz GD, GE and GK are H4..
Also fits my accord euro
on which light?
what about CR-V?
All year model Honda Jazz' use H4.
I hate my fckin H1 bulbs. Can't find anything else than the homebrand stuff
powerbulbs.com have 20% off at the moment. shipped from the UK but way cheaper than buying the equivalent here
If you don't have reflectors, have you checked out LEDs?
I have H1 in my car too, no need to go homebrand. I got Philips DiamondVision for mine during one of the Autobarn sales.
Here are some links for you:

Obviously not the best prices but have a look around on Google / eBay and you should be able to find one of these a bit cheaper.
Edit: Amazon has the DiamondVision H1 for $64.50

good timing for me,had a bulb go last night, stupid cold weather
Needed so.e cheap headlight for my aging car and these fit! Tanks op
Great deal. Thanks OP!
Also 20% off with RACQ membership I believe
I bought these globes last Sunday and the racv bonus didn’t apply.
Can confirm, racv did not stack. Also nothing for repco on CR or SB
I always keep a set spare and was eyeing a resupply of Bosch or Philips which goes for three times as much.
It looks to be going out of stock quickly at stores.
Thank you for your post, bought a set.
Sweet as deal Cheers Bro
Any good H7 stuff anyones seen?
The narva H7 are $14 too
I personally won't buy Narva Globe due to high failure rate based on my previous experience.
They were good years ago and now not very good. But you'll pay $40+ for Philips
I got the last Repco Halogen Globe - H9 for $4.50
Try https://www.powerbulbs.com/au/ spend $105 get 25% off
Lost me at spend $105
pretty easy once you add in all those other globes your car uses. my last order was about $150.
You should like my wife
H9 got cancelled.
Ordered 2 x 2 pack above. Got 2 x 1 globe pack :(
Great deal thanks op grabbed a pair
Damn snooze ya lose. All gone from my local store. Gr8 deal tho.
what color of lights does this bulb produce
yellowish color similar to older car headlight or whiteish like newer LED headlights?
4200K on the colour temp scale, which is a warmer white.
yellowish like older car headlights but little brighter
Powerbulbs, UK store but waaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than anything in Australia.
Free shipping unless you’re buying a single bulb thats garbage.
Old Ozbargain favourite
I don't think so. Can't be way cheaper than free.
How are you getting free bulbs? Some sort of refund scam? Putting them into your backpack at an auto store?
Customers leave their halogens at our shop when they go in for their LED conversions. Halogens that are either brand new or like-new and given for free to anyone who needs them, anything in used condition or even slightly worn is thrown out.
Limit 1 per order.
$4.95 delivery for ignition members.
Been on my to do list for weeks, thanks ghaniyo
