2 X Denso(Koito) ballasts 
2 X Genuine Phil. 9006 rebased 4300K D2R/D2S bulbs
2 X custom 9006 connectors 

It looks like good stuff to me, and the price seems reasonable. Good purchase?

he's a great seller. Got a kit from him. The denso is300 ballast are brand new.

Only thing i dont like is how he made the 9006 connector on the ballast. (Chopped off light bulbs to use the 9006 base)
But you can always replace it if you dont like it.

Not that bad considering its denso ballast, jsut remember those balllast are NOT water proof so you would want to cover them up. Other then that just hope those bulbs are really algined with the focal points like the site says it does.

THe focal points are aligned to the Regular Halogen Filament.

Installed a set on my friends Scion TC. Beam pattern is not bad for a Kit add-on.

Actually have alot of road lighting & not too much glare. (But it may be because of the housing)

Before this search goes inactive the sellers name is: integra9006hid

The auction title is: 9006 (HB4) HID Kit for LEXUS ACURA TOYOTA HONDA D2S/D2R

The price is Buy It Now $288

The shipping is $15.00

He accepts paypal and has a virtually flawless feedback record.

I have spoken with many with his kit's and they are in a sense "perfect" and inexpensive as hell.

Some pointers for you.

First those are not weatherproof ballasts. You have to encase them somehow..

Second, with those bulbs ballast conectors will not plug all the way. You will need to grind down holding plates at the end of projectors.

Third, those custom connectors are not weatherproof. Old Sylvania halogen bulb make nice all weather connector, all you have to do is to take bulb appart and solder wires. I must post the picture cause it is really neat.

Is the H4 kit the correct kit to replace 9004 bulbs in a 97 Maxima low beam?

No it's not. H4 = 9003 and 9004 = HB1.
