Default JDM or Europe headlights?

What bulbs did the JDM or EU cars come with? In high beams, did they ever get the H1's?

Thanks!

Hi

I have EU model, and I attached below picture from the GS300 instruction (polish version).

As I see, there is nothing about H1.
I added translation, hope it helps.

Thanks! Looks like the HB4's are just the 9006's. The H1's are very good for high beams and are available in 100w, as they are designed to be 100w bulbs. I had a set of Hella e-code lights in my 80 T/A with the H1 bulbs (100w) and H4 (90w low/130w high) that were actually xenon gas bulbs. They were nearly as good as HID's and had almost no glare in the snow or fog. Loved them, and on high beams they would light up 2 miles down the road and light up signs well. I had to upgrade wiring and even then it still would start to discharge battery if I had the blower on high and rear defroster on. 380w on high beams! Crazy, but soooo much safer and never blinded other drivers. I loved them....
