When you look at the kit they clearly show  two pin weatherpack/metripack connectors:

so I guess we should order Phillips or Osram bulbs when the kit bulbs die

I'm not to sure about that, those phillips and osram hid bulbs can be expensive! I can probably buy 5 or 6 sets of the cheaper ones compared to one of those. I'm sure some of these bulbs last longer then others tho. I know of people that have been using these lower priced bulbs for over 2 years now without any problems, guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Thats the harness that I used, but in the picture they're not showing a H4 connector, the picture that you posted above that one is what comes with the H4 relay harness. That looks like a 9006 connector in that pic on the harness they are showing.Make sure you order a harness for a H4 set up!!! :D

Also when I received the harness, I had to open the end of the H4 connector and swap position of two pins to match the " stock headlight connector pinouts". And yes, the "fuse" and 40 amp relay are included!

You need the 9006 connector to power the ballast.

Those two weatherpack 2 pin connectors above on that harness, they snap right into the ballast to power them.

Yes, the picture above is the correct H4 harness connector. Nice price to!

Kanadians are far better off with Hong Kong sellers. His shipping is nuts, the other guy was free.
 

Metripack 150 series as are the so called 9005/6 connectors.
I'm beginning to suspect with a "digital" ballast stock wiring gauges maybe close to adequate.
