Doubt that they are H4 unless they feature main, and dip beam in one unit?

More likley to be H3, or even H1.

Good prices, mind, did the wiring costs include relay, connectors and wire?

Looks neat, mate. I assume the bolts holding the covers are stainless? If not, swap them out asap.

Wiring diangram? I'd be interested to see it? Mine are done via relays.

cheers , every bolt nut n washer is stainless the wiring diagram is actually straight forward it all uses the subaru wires and mimics the p1 wiring
i will try to explain
on switch connector block snip black/green then snip white yellow then black/yellow
then take main beam live feed to white/yellow on foglight relay under glovebox after cutting white/yellow hey presto spotlights with main beem only , turn on offable and the light still works on the switch when they are on best 20 quid i ever spent pete at mototek is a top bloke

Madscoob: the reason I was interested in a daigram was that not all scoobs' wiring is the same colours.
Someone following your instructions to cut coloured wires my end up in a mess

good point mine is a 93wrx . i do have the pin points on a drawing for the switch and relay so i suppose the wire colours could be different but the points on blocks should be the same , i could take a photo od petes drawing if you want
