I replaced my windscreen at the same time so I hid my ballast behind the instrument cluster. If you take your screen off there is a big space to slip it in then put the screen back on and no more ballast! Can't even tell its there once the screen is back in and the wiring runs behind your duct covers for the perfect install.

No I don't. But I thought you would need a reply to switch between hi and lows

no need for a relay, with the ddm kit it has a plug that your headlight plug goes into, then separate wires for the bulb itself.

High beam and low beam are the same bulb in the F4.
idealy you need a Bi-xenon H4 kit - they have a relay that moves the bulb slightly to achieve high and low beam from a single h4 fitting bulb
The bi-xenon bulbs look like this - Google Image Result for http://www.xenonsonline.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/650x/68ce5aa2a896798ff2368166f05f6a0d/h/4/h4_bi_xenon.jpg
and the control box looks like this - Google Image Result for http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/381236185/Hotsale-35W-12V-HID-BI-XENON-Conversion-Ballast-For-Moving-Series-H4-3-H13-3-9004.jpg
It has the extra connector for activating the bulb move relay.

But there is 2 types of H4's, H4 single beam and an H4 Bi-xenon.
I am saying for the price he paid he would not be receving a Bi-xenon as it is an extra $10 (On top of the price of the bulb) to get a Bi-xenon.
Edit: Just realized your control box is a ballast which doesn't control the Hi and lo switch, You need a seperate harness to do that > http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/High-Low-Harness

As people have already said - you either need 2 bulbs *with 2 ballasts*, one for Hi, and the other for Lo, or get a Hi/Lo kit.

Damn it. You guys might be right. I didn't know that there are 2 types of H4s. I bought the one says "H4-2/H 6000K Super Vision Xenon HID Vehicle White Light Headlamp (Pair)" Is didn't mention Bi-Xenon anywhere. Ah.....damn it.
