That’s the the most recent install without the CM crossover.
I actually like it both ways but this client wanted it strictly Euro.

Hella H4 rubber "boot" makes it impossible to attach plug.

A strictly euro hi beam stalk turns on all four H1 beams. Replacing two H1 lo beams with two H1 hi beams provides no additional lighting.

Except that your high beams have a less restrictive lens pattern than lows, and you can run bulbs with 2x the watts in the highs. You obviously have all of that with all four on, but by lens pattern alone, highs-only does not equal lows-only, especially with different bulbs.
We are waiting on his replacement stalk- his is USA and sloppy. We want the Euro so he can have the double action with sided street parking.
Aha, with such intense H1 highs on the inside headlights the car will appear way narrower than it is, and that is trouble...
Not sure if serious...
Appear to who? The oncoming traffic already summering from retina damage?
Would someone point me to the wiring change to go from H4 lows to H1 lows. I get that the city light connection is to the side marker light.
The metal cover does what?
I don't like the H4 lenses on the car. They just don't fit.

Gary, Here is how it's done:
Under dash disconnect white 5 wire harness junction block from hi/lo switch. Pull forward to get access. Remove yellow spade and yellow/white spade which are side by side with a thin screwdriver to release the retaining barb on the spade. Remove old spades and jump them with new spades and a second wire, perhaps blue, from each spade. Reinsert spades in the same positions and connect junction block.
This will turn on the H1 low when Hi is selected, otherwise the Lo beam goes out. Euro coupes have a different hi/lo switch which does this. Yellow is always Lo beam, White is always Hi beam, you wont use the white wires to your new H1 Lo bulb. The metal covers are just a convenient way to attach the spades

hi backs are deeper
What are hi backs?
Chris--Your pic shows the yellow and yellow/white wires as the top 2 wires in the junction block. Please show a pic of the way you "jumped" the 2 wires together with a perhaps blue wire. thanks, Drew
Pull those two wires out, cut off the spades, install new spades on each with a wire between them as well. I think I used the plug on the chassis harness side of the plug, not the switch side, I think.
OK so I get this?
Take the yellow and yellow/white wire out of the connector. Cut off the spade connectors and put new ones on with the addition of a wire connecting the yellow and yellow/white wires together then put back in the connector? So jumping the two wires together?
What happens at the headlights? Just use the yellow wire for both low and high?

SEPARATE FOR HI AND LOW
TWO DIFFERENT CIRCUITS

You got it right. Once jumped selecting Hi beam will continue to illuminate the H1 Lo beam.
Leave yellow on the Lo H1, white on the high H1, tape off or remove the white wire that went to the H4 Lo beam.
You will need “tabbed” spade connectors to do the job right...
