Galaxy Bulbs in the reference section

I notice in the reference section on the site that the main beam bulb on the Mk2 Galaxy is quoted as being the same as the dipped beam (H7) but looking in my manual tonight and on the web it quotes the bulb as being a H1. I had a look through the headlight on mine and the main beam bulb does look different. Also the website I looked at said that the front fogs were a HB4 but I am sure the owners manual said H7 like the reference section on here.

I bought 2 sets of H7 nightbreakers thinking that the main and dipped were the same but it just means I will have plenty of spares!

Like you say, on the Mk2 Galaxy the dip beam bulbs should be of the twin terminal H7 type and the main beam bulbs the single terminal H1 type.

IIRC then the front foglamps also use twin terminal H7 bulbs as well, with a small section of wiring loom connecting the rear foglamp cover electrical connector to the bulb itself.
