See http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/eurolght.html (yes, it's missing the "i" 
in "light") - they are the same on each side.

I'm not familiar with the Blau harness, but "city light instead of 
highbeam" sure sounds like a mis-wired H4 to me. Ground and low/high 
swapped, so high/low goes through both filaments?
