H4 is probably the hardest HID conversion to get a good result out of. The close but offset positions of the two light sources (filaments) in a H4 Halogen bulb make it very difficult to duplicate with HID. There are at least 4 different types of H4 conversion kit.

Have a look at the following posts for more detail:

I am not totally satisfied with any of them but the last of the three types above are the best of the lot. Try and find a manufacturer that makes those, and its a good indication their quality is most likely better than average.

I have avoided H4s like the plague .... but I do have one dual ballast / dual burner HID H4 unit, and when it gets warmer (and I get a volunteer) I want to do some testing with.

Also make sure the ballasts are waterproof.

Finally, if you plan to import them yourself, factor in bank charges, shipping costs and customs duties.
