Need help ASAP what hid kit?

I just ordered a hid conversion kit of eBay for my 04 g35 and the seller is telling me the H1 bulbs but I read in a previous thread the H1 is for the 06-07 projector lights and that the H4 is for the 2003-2005 headlights.
So which one is it?

usually that would plug into the positive and negative wire that attaches to the back of the stock bulb

hey yall i need some help again im not sure if they sent the right one or if im not doing something right.the seller said that i needed the h1 bulb kit.
here are some pictures.
the first picture is the hid bulb next to my stock bulb.the hid bulb is way too skinny and wont fit in the head lights housing.
the second picture is the connector thing that suppose to connect to the stock bulb harness.its also to small and wont fit the stock connector.

Yea man I have a problem.the whole time I had my car 4months I didn't realize I was using the fog lights as my low beam(dumb I know).after locating the low beam I noticed the bulb that's already in there didn't have any wires going to it.I don't know why the privies owner would have cut them but now I'm in search of the wire diagram to see if I can fix it.if not do you think I can get the 6k h4 hid conversion kit and replace the fogs with that?I know I'll lose my high beams but I'm more worry about burning any wires or modifying things when it comes to the electrical things.would it be plug and play?

^if i were u i would fix everything back to stock instead of screwing around with it. not dissing u but it doesnt seem like u kno wat ur doing so to tinker with it more by doing custom mods i dont recommend and dangerous. so jus get it back to stock would be the first thing id do. then install the hid in the low beams where it should be

^id rather take it to a shop that does wiring work like a audio, alarm, electronics type place. mechanics dont really do wiring stuff or do they? or maybe the mech would jus replace all the harnesses thatll probably be easier depending on how much the previous owner screwed up

Well the passenger side still looks good it's just that the driverside looks cut because there isn't any wires behind the stock bulb but there is 2wires that's wraped in electrical tape so I'm sure that's the wires that go to it.
I'm guessing that the 04s came with stock hids because the bulb looks like a hid bulb.I'll take another look once it stops raining
