high beam h4 conversion need help

I went to switch the sealed beams to the h4 unsealed beams. I noticed that the high beam connector is a 2 prong. The bulbs that I have are a 3 prong. Is there an adapter? I am lost. Any help would be great. Thanks

Find an H7 bulb and you should be fine. H4 is a HI/LO beam bulb and has 2 filaments and 3 connectors (one for each filament and ground), H7 is a single filament bulb with 2 connectors. Use the H4 bulbs for the outer headlight pair and H7 for the inner pair.

Re: high beam h4 conversion need help

If you haven't done so already, you'll want to upgrade your headlight wiring harness to handle the extra current. There's a nice kit in the following link that sets you up for a pair of H4 lights and a pair of H1 (instead of H7).

Use the kit # HL28202 (straight ground)
