Have been asked about the H1 main beam headlight bulb replacement a couple of times recently and also saw some confusion here about the H1 type due to it been fitted into an adapter before fitted to the headlight.

 

So took a few pics and hopefully will help expain what you need to know about changing the bulb and understanding the adapter.

 

So pic one shows the rubber cover in place, picture two shows how to release the bulb holder from the headlight by pinching the two small "wings" in at the bottom.

 

 

 

Picture three shows the bulb been released and also look carefully you can see how green the connectors are to the bulb holder, this is a problem particular to the main beam and can often be mistaken for a blown bulb.

 

 

Picture four show the bulb and holder removed, the release wings can be seen and so can the extent of the connection corossion.

 

 

 

Picture five shows the holder and the bulb separated, now the H1 fitment can be seen and understood, clean the connection before refitting.

 

 

Of course access is much less when fitted to the cars but do-able.

 

Hope that helps,
