Default RS2 vs H4/H1 headlight beam pattern

Ok so I am stuck with this H4/H1 headlight when I thought I was getting a RS2.. question is does one or the other do a better job of lighting up the road?

The RS2 low beam should have a tiny bit better cut-off, but I doubt you'd notice it...

Can the H4/H1 lights have blinker bulbs put in the corner reflectors like with the RS2's?

Default You are not stuck with anything.....

That E-bay add was a ovious lie. You did not get the item described. Contact E-Bay as they are verry good with this kind of thing. They will hook you up under a fraud case. If you paid via Credit Card, your credit card company might also help you out under a fraud basis, Good luck!!

Default I know, this putz has offered to take it back, but only because

he has received alot of emails from many of you guys looking for more RS2 lights, and because this putz can't tell the difference between a H4H1 light and and RS2 light, he is more than happy to take this one back and resell to one of you for more money....
doh... think I'll just hang onto it than have anymore dealings with him. Just the fact that he won't admit to a mistake or wrongdoing just pisses me off. (or even that there is a difference between the lights)

Default Dooooode, I've already done the field testing. Have a look for yourself:

H1-H4: low beam

RS2 low beam:

H1-H4 high beam:

RS2 high beam:

hope this helps. Keep in mind, with the RS2 you can wire it so that both bulbs are on for the "highbeam" It looks something like this:

I think the differences are evident on their own.

check yah later

Default YES!!! they are IDENTICAL!! comeon peeps, don't you read threads daily?

do you WANT me to proove it with pictures??? I've already offered once.

We'll play "guess the backside of the lamp", where you goons try and figure out which one is the H1-H4 &amp; RS2. If you loose I get all jo sheit.
