I honesty cant give you advice on retro-fitting and H4 setup to HID because the only thing close to it that ive done is my fog lights which are H3...stll are but 6000K HIDs in there now. I dont know what to say about the hi-beam light staying on. As far as mounting the ballast go, I used an angle drill and made a few holes under the car. You know were the plastic cover goes under the car...the one you have to remove, or just move to get to your fogs is the one im refering to. There is a flat metal surface (close enough) that I drilled and just used nuts/bolts to hold the ballast & ignitors in place. Some just use double sided tape, yeah it might hold but I dont trust it. I dont know were every1 else mounts theres, but thats were I mounted the ballasts for my fogs.

There should be a small white wire that is on the harness and is basically just a loop that goes no where. Clip this wire and tape it off, that will get rid of your high beam indicator.

I'm sure you can find somewhere in FL to get them stolen, it might take a little looking and the service may not be as prompt but I'm sure someone there can help you!
