How to make HID kit fit

Well I found a really good deal on a Helio H4 9000k kit and decided to purchase it. I don't know why I thought this kit fit my car perfectly, but now that I think about it I just realized that I have 9004 bulbs as stock headlights. So far I have researched and the only way I can think of making them fit is by buying a Cefiro headlight conversion kit since they are specifically made for H4 bulbs. Are there any other ways that I could just use the stock headlamps and just rewire/reposition some things so I could use the H4 HID kit instead of my stock 9004 headlights? Is there any way of modifying the stock headlamps to be able to hold the H4 bulbs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Btw cost wise, would I just be better off selling the H4 kit, taking the loss, and just buying the 9004 kit which is made specifically for my car?

So what you're saying is that I could still use the H4 harness/ballast and just put 9004 HID bulbs at the end of it?

yes, thats what i believe. The ballasts and the igniter is universal for all bulbs.

I don't quite follow. What do you mean "oem stuff"? What is retrofitting a projector and how can that be done? Thanks.

Is there any way I can modify the stock headlamps in order to be able to hold the H4 bulbs properly?

Anybody?

Also, since I've been reading about the 9004 --> 9007 conversion, should I just get the 9007 bulb instead of getting the 9004? I'm guessing they would both fit in the stock headlamps right?
