The 04 uses H7 bulbs. They are single filament compared to H4s which are dual. PIAAs would be the way to go. Do some window shopping first. You can find great bulbs for cheap around the net. I just picked up a pair of PIAA Super Plasma GT-Xs for my 03 R1 and love them. Good luck!

Does this mean after Replacing all 4 bulbs that all 4 lights will be on Low beam?
No, you are simply replacing the bulbs with better/brighter ones. You will still have your normal 2 low beams and normal 2 high beams. But seeing how you will need to buy 4 new bulbs, that would definitely get expensive. DO NOT buy cheap blue Discount Auto Parts bulbs, they will melt your harness. Save up some money for PIAAs. Good luck!
