Unhappy Hid kits

I'm looking into getting and HID kit for my CBR 600 F4i. The problem is I'm not sure what bulb type I need, can anyone help me out. I have looked online and I have also looked in the Clymer book for my bike and can't find a thing.

color and brightness. the lower the number the more "white" the light is and brighter, the higher the number the "blue"er it looks but its not as bright. If you wanna do the dual headlight mod and retain the high beam then get the H4. It will require some extra wiring and a relay, but you get both lights for low beam and high beam, and with the HID kit it wont draw too much power frying the harness. which is a common prob when doing the dual light mod, but the HID kit will eliminate that cause the bulbs fire off of ballasts instead of drawing their power straight off the battery like the halogens.

Not sure I really wanna do the dual headlights. I really dont even know how to do the regular set-up. Unless you can let me know how to do it or where to get directions on how to do it.

So are the H4's just to do the dual headlight conversion or could I use that to do the single as well. I know the stocks are H7's. I'm not trying to burn anything out or replace anything if it gets messed up.

use the H7s for the "cyclops" look, the H4s are the same bulb but with two fillaments in them, one for low and one for high. The H7 only has one fillament in it. As long as you wire it up right you wont burn anything or mess anything up with either of the bulbs.

Jesus finally found this post.
I was looking into also doing the dual healight set up since well i ride with my high beam on all the time anyways.

Could you point me in the right direction for the install of the dual head light. and will the h4 match the h7 with out modification?
