    They won't melt the lenses because they're glass, and if you haven't got cheap 'From china' kits on eBay then you'll be fine.

    H1, H4 and H7's are all different bulb types.

    H4's are the saxo's standard bulb type. It's a bulb that consists of both high beam & low beam in the same bulb (two filaments).

    Angel eyes don't use H4, as they use two separate bulbs for dipped and high instead of one bulb like the standard housing. They use H1 and H7 bulbs. H1's are used for main beams (and fog lights) and H7's are used for dipped beams on the angels head lamps.

    A typical set up for angel eye'd HID's are to buy a set of H7 HID's for your dipped beams, and just have a set of powerful halogen H1 main beams.

    Hope that helps 6000K is a great choice.
