the dual setup only has a single housing for each light (just one big headlight), the quad setup has two housings for each bulb (divider with two visible bulbs/reflectors).

sounds like you have the quad setup. if your highbeam is a seperate bulb, then it's the quad. the dual setup only has one bulb for high and low. So turn on your high beams and get out and look, then you'll have your answer.

2 headlight system is what you have if your turn signal is horizontal, if it was dual it would be up and down, 4 headlight systems have two headlight bulbs (per side) and the turn signal is vertical. 2 headlight systems have 1 headlight bulb (per side) and the turn signal is horizontal

Probably cheaper to produce the duals, I prefer the quad look so I swapped mine out.
