Really stupid question....

Ok, here's the deal. I bought 2 TYC projectors. No big deal. Well, i bought some Polarg 194 parking lights, some PIAA 7443 turn signals and some Mtec H4 bulbs.

Here's the problem. While inspecting my head lights, i notice that for my turn signals it calls for a #3457A KNA bulb. Will the PIAA still work? My parking lights call for a #168. Will the polargs work? Also, I noticed there are places for two H1 bulbs on the projectors, but never says anything about an H4 bulb. WTF is going on? Is one slot for an H1 bulb, and another for an H4 bulb? Do i need both an H1 and H4 in each headlight? Any help would be appreciated. Thanx

I know both the ho and low are H1. So you'll need four. I'm not sure about the others but they're probably different too. Do a search, I've seen a couple posts about this before.

TYC's use H1 bulbs for High and LOw. For turn signals they use 3156 or 3157 for the turn signals

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
the h4's wont work, they're too big. you dont have to buy 2 pairs of h1's since you dont really use high beam. so just get one set of h1's. you can also use 168/194 bulbs for the parking light (thats what i use). make sure its the bulb and not the led because ive heard that the led slip off. and the turn signals are 3156 for singal filament or 3157 for double filament.
