Hi - I'm looking at getting some upgraded Philips racing vision bulbs.

 

Am I right in thinking that the projector headlights use a single H7 bulb for dipped and full beam in the mark 2 fabia? I can't see another bulb - but most places suggest you should have 2 bulbs or an h4. 

 

Haynes manual and Halfords search was inconclusive! 

When I take off the rubber cover there is a single H7 bulb in there - that seems to do the job of full and dipped

Reading a few posts that suggest there is a clever mechanism in the projector that switches the single H7 to dipped. That would explain it. Can anyone here confirm that? Thanks

Dunno, sorry

Confused

If it's a projector light it probably has a single H7 bulb with a shutter in front of it that screens off the full beam when on dipped beam.  Chances are you may be able to upgrade to a H7 hid burner like many did in mk2 Octavias

Solved it's definitely a single H7 bulb that powers both dipped and full. As @skomazsays there is a shutter in the reflector to toggle. An upgrade to philips facing vision makes a significant difference.
