Harness Diode question, Will 1N4001 or 1N914 work?

#1 Post by kimi » 27 Feb 2022, 22:38

I am in the process of doing my retro with e55 bi xenons, and because I'm on an h4 system, I want to make sure the low beam doesn't cut out when the high beam is activated, thus I'm connecting them with a diode.
I was looking for a 1N4005 diode as has been listed in most diagrams. I wasn't able to find that particular one. The ones I found were 1N4001 & 1N914. 1N4001 is listed as being 50V.1A and I can't exactly figure out the numbers on the other ones.
Anyways will 1N4001 work instead of 1N4005?
Thanks!
