My 91' Presso & 97' mx are both H4. So why do the likes of Halfords list all mx's as H1 :?

I went into Halfords the other day and '3s are all listed as taking H1!!!!! I went against my better judgement and bought them only to go back the next day and replace them with H4s!!! What a bunch of !*%$?*s. :shock:

Halfrauds are crap, hate that place, only go there if I have to.

Not sure if the fogs are H1 or H3.

I do know the side lights are 501's though!

What's the HID's like for those who've got them? Do they pass MOT's or d'you swap back to normal H4's. What's the beam cut off like?

Soz for the questions just been thinking about them for a while now I've got rid of that pesky dim dip.
